I planned to write a reproducable test case, but I didn't get that far. I tried your small application first (the one attached to the bug report) and ran it directly on the server which uses ISO-8859-1. The server sent some data to itself and printed it on the console, so I guess there is no change in the encoding involved. The result that I got on the console was: Une cha�ne de caract�res. I could also reproduce it on another server with ISO-8859-1, but not on a third one which was configured for UTF-8. With UTF-8 I got the correct string: Une chaîne de caractères. I also tried to pipe the console output into a file, which I transferred to my development machine (which uses UTF-8). A simple cat of this file on the console showed question marks like above, but when I opened the same file on the same machine with a graphical editor (gedit), the special characters showed up correctly. I'm confused now, it seems to be an encoding issue which might not even be related to restlets. The questions are now: how do I solve it, and why does it work to transfer the special characters with the old version of my service, which does not use restlets (it uses Object-to-XML serialization over a socket). I also attached the requested system properties to this mail, one file with the settings from an ISO-8859-1 server, the other one with UTF-8. I don't know whether it helps you to find something, I couldn't see anything strange. Perhaps you have or somebody else on the list has some experience with problems related to character encodings, I'm out of ideas right now. Best regards, Hannes
