Re: [jetty-discuss] POST Encoding Problem after Jetty Upgrade

Hi Simon,

Thank you very much for following up with the info.  I'll repost at
the other list.

A runtime check of the file.encoding property shows that the
file.encoding property is "UTF-8".  FYI, the "(c)" in my e-mail is
GMail's substitute for the actual copyright symbol.

Something pertinent I forgot to mention:
I used Fiddler2 to hijack the HTTP request body.  I found that if I
took the line:
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
and changed it to:
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded; Charset=utf-8

... then the request was interpreted correctly.  Browsers don't
support this behavior -- I get the impression that UTF-8 is assumed.
