Hi Chuck,

Unless you are using 5.4.2 or 5.4.3 (can't recall which now, 5.4.3 I think), _NSUtilities.UTF8StringEncoding returns the incorrect "UTF8" string, no hyphen. This can cause the request to think that the encoding has changed ( ! "UTF8".equals("UTF-8")) and it then discards the form values. But with the "multipart/form-data" it then can't recreate them so you get null. My bug notes say, "The hours this has cost me..."


Try using rr.setContentEncoding("UTF-8");


Is this an issue with WO 5.2 and 5.3 or just 5.4?

Will changing usages of UTF8 to UTF-8 cause any issues with WO 5.2 or 5.3? I ask because we have been using _NSUtilities.UTF8StringEncoding in a few places for years now and have not come across this issue, maybe we've just been lucky. I don't want to change anything unless I am certain that this will definitely not break anything. Obviously we are going to test any changes we make, I just wanted your opinion on this.

Thanks
