We're using CFHTTP to query a java service. The system basically takes a piece of text and posts it via CFHTTP to a custom service written in Java. The problem is occuring because CF doesn't seem to be setting the character encoding correctly. Consequently special characters like smart quotes are becoming garbled.
My cfhttp code is very simple: <cfhttp method="post" url=" http://localhost/?userid=#session.user.id#&type=ExtractClean"; port="#application.SemxPort#" charset="utf-8"> <cfhttpparam type="body" value="#params.cleantext#"> <cfhttpparam type="header" name="content-type" value="text/html"> </cfhttp> On the java side, our dev is using getCharacterEncoding() to return the character encoding of the request, but it's coming back with "null" which according to the docs means: "the request does not specify a character encoding" But I'm specifically setting the charset as utf-8 :( What am I missing here? Has anyone seen similar behaviour with CFHTTP and if so how did you resolve it? Or it's possible that I'm doing something wrong with my CFHTTP tag but the code is so simple it seems unlikely. If anyone has any ideas I would be most grateful for your insight :) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:358593 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
