Hi Alan.

Setting the page's charset seems to have the side effect of setting the default form encoding for the page. Thanks for the tip though...

I've figured it out - you have to stick in a meta tag to force the browser to use UTF-8. Something like.

<html>
<head>
   <meta charset="UTF-8"></meta>
</head>
<body>
   Some stuff...
</body>
</html>


No, that tells the browser what encoding the page is in. Forms have an "accept-encoding" tag which
tells the browser how to encode the user input that it's going to post.


Note that I simply cannot get it to work with ISO8859_1 encoding.

That's probably because you're not doing it right ;-)

Hi All.

I've bumped into an incompatibility between WebObjects 5.3 and 5.4. In 5.3, I could submit a form value with non-ASCII characters, and their encoding would be correctly interpreted. In 5.4, the encoding is misinterpreted.

I printed out the actual request contents, and, for instance e- acute is sent as é, which as far as I know is correct ISO8859 encoding. I read in the release notes that WO 5.4 now defaults to UTF8 encoding, so I tried to change the request's defaultFormValueEncoding to ISO8859_1. Then it got interpreted as a literal é!

Can anybody shed some light on this? I have searched the lists and the Google, and have come up empty.

Thanks!
