Issue with corrupt querystring parameter

Question

My Code is:

index.jsp

<a href="/User/music.jsp?path=/Users/Downloads/Halle & so.mp3">Hallo & so</a>

music.jsp

<h4><%out.print(request.getParameter("path"));%></h4>

but the querystring has corrupted my path variable.

output:

/User/Downloads/Halle

Can someone assist me with this?

Use URL encoding to fix this problem.

encodeURIComponent('Halle & so.mp3');

Problem is & is special character used to split the parameters.
