Getting IllegalArgumentException when I try to run JQL search rest api

[Nallusamy Narayanaswamy]

Hi, 

I am trying to get jira issue details from confluence and trying to run the below jql search api. it throws IllegalArgumentException. 

 https://xyz/plugins/servlet/applinks/proxy?appId=xyz123&path=https://abcdef/rest/api/2/search?jql=project=ATADMIN%20AND%20status=Done

I think, the space in the query causing issue. jql=project=ATADIM AND status=Done. 

Please suggest how to handle that space.

The Url must be encoded correctly:

.../search?jql=project%20%3D%20ATADMIN%20AND%20status%20%3D%20Done

I'm facing the same problem, but encoding doesn't solve it.  A simple JQL works, e.g.

• https://confluence.mycompany.com/plugins/servlet/applinks/proxy?appId=APP_ID&path=https://jira.mycompany.com/rest/api/latest/search?jql=project=PROJECT

but anything with whitespace fails, even when encoded:

• https://confluence.mycompany.com/plugins/servlet/applinks/proxy?appId=APP_ID&path=https://jira.mycompany.com/rest/api/latest/search?jql=project%20=%20MR

The error is :

• java.net.URISyntaxException: Illegal character in query at index 88: https://jira.mycompany.com/https://jira.mycompany.com/rest/api/latest/search?jql=project = MR

The error is bizarre in that I'm not sure why the first part is repeated?
