public static String map2Content(Map params)

Converts a map to URL- encoded content. This is a convenience method which can be used in combination with post(String, byte[]), put(String, String) and others. It makes it easy to convert parameters to submit a string:

Parameters:

params - map with keys and values to be posted. This map is used to build content to be posted, such that keys are names of parameters, and values are values of those posted parameters. This method will also URL-encode keys and content using UTF-8 encoding.

String representations of both keys and values are used.

Returns:

Post object.
