Please check out Servlet 3 Upload File. For File upload, we will use Apache Commons FileUpload utility, for our project we are using version 1. FileItem provides useful method to get the file name, field name in form, size and content type details of the file that needs to be uploaded. To write file to a directory, all we need to do it create a File object and pass it as argument to FileItem write method. Since the whole purpose of the servlet is to upload file, we will override init method to initialise the DiskFileItemFactory object instance of the servlet.
We will use this object in the doPost method implementation to upload file to server directory. Once the file gets uploaded successfully, we will send response to client with URL to download the file, since HTML links use GET method,we will append the parameter for file name in the URL and we can utilise the same servlet doGet method to implement file download process. For implementing download file servlet, first we will open the InputStream for the file and use ServletContext.
We will also need to set the response content length as length of the file. Once we are done with setting response configuration, we can read file content from InputStream and write it to ServletOutputStream and the flush the output to client.

Usually browser's native encoding is utf-8 FireFox, Opera, Chrome. But IE's native encoding is Win At least, it works for me. Despite method's name, it doesn't encode string into URL-encoding, but it does encode into form-encoding. Form-encoding is quite similiar to URL-encoding and in a lot of cases it produces same results.
But there are some differences. Unfortunately, it depends on the browser. See this topic of discussion this problem. To solve your problem, look at this site with examples of different headers and their behavior in diffrent browsers.
