/**
* Utility class for HTML form decoding. This class contains static methods
* for decoding a String from the <CODE>application/x-www-form-urlencoded</CODE>
* MIME format.
* <p>
* The conversion process is the reverse of that used by the URLEncoder class. It is assumed
* that all characters in the encoded string are one of the following:
* "{@code a}" through "{@code z}",
* "{@code A}" through "{@code Z}",
* "{@code 0}" through "{@code 9}", and
* "{@code -}", "{@code _}",
* "{@code .}", and "{@code *}". The
* character "{@code %}" is allowed but is interpreted
* as the start of a special escaped sequence.
* <p>
* The following rules are applied in the conversion:
* <p>
* <ul>
* <li>The alphanumeric characters "{@code a}" through
* "{@code z}", "{@code A}" through
* "{@code Z}" and "{@code 0}"
* through "{@code 9}" remain the same.
* <li>The special characters "{@code .}",
* "{@code -}", "{@code *}", and
* "{@code _}" remain the same.
* <li>The plus sign "{@code +}" is converted into a
* space character " " .
* <li>A sequence of the form "<i>{@code %xy}</i>" will be
* treated as representing a byte where <i>xy</i> is the two-digit
* hexadecimal representation of the 8 bits. Then, all substrings
* that contain one or more of these byte sequences consecutively
* will be replaced by the character(s) whose encoding would result
* in those consecutive bytes.
* The encoding scheme used to decode these characters may be specified,
* or if unspecified, the default encoding of the platform will be used.
* </ul>
* <p>
* There are two possible ways in which this decoder could deal with
* illegal strings. It could either leave illegal characters alone or
* it could throw an {@link java.lang.IllegalArgumentException}.
* Which approach the decoder takes is left to the
* implementation.
