Url suffix with java client doesn't allow dots in suffix

Hi, 

if I try to set an url suffix according to 

https://cloudinary.com/blog/how_to_dynamically_create_seo_friendly_urls_for_your_site_s_images

e.g. https://demo-res.cloudinary.com/images/ltepu4mm0qzw6lkfxt1m/baloncesto-juego-en-universidad.jpg

I always get an exception when trying to execute code like that:

String url = cloudinary.url().transformation(transformation).source("zzz").suffix("sample.jpg").generate();

The exception says that 

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: url_suffix should not include . or /

and is thrown by: 

https://github.com/cloudinary/cloudinary_java/blob/master/cloudinary-core/src/main/java/com/cloudinary/Url.java#L425

How is it possible to create an url with an suffix that contains a '.' like 'image.jpg'? I already tried to url encode the '.' that doesn't cause the exception, but it doesn't decode the dot in the suffix as well.

Thanks, Martin

  Hi Martin, 

  Adding an extension to the URL should be done using the `format` parameter, like this:

  String url = cloudinary.url().transformation(transformation).source("zzz").suffix("sample").format("jpg").generate();

  Let me know if this works for you?
