I am having trouble with sending out a POST request that contains
UTF-8 data.
Here's what I'm doing:
...
01 String s = <some json object string
containing non-ascii (devanagari) data>;
02 URL u = new URL(<some valid url>);
03
04 HttpURLConnection c = (HttpURLConnection)
u.openConnection();
05 c.setRequestProperty("Content-Type",
"application/json; charset=UTF-8");
06 c.setDoOutput(true);
07 c.setRequestMethod("POST");
08 OutputStreamWriter w = new
OutputStreamWriter(c.getOutputStream());
09 w.write(s);
10 w.close();
11 int r = c.getResponseCode();
12 if(r == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK) {
13 //SUCCESS
14 }
15 else {
16 //FAILURE
17 }
...
Now, when I test this snippet via the development server (http://
localhost:8888) the post data is written properly to the url u.
However when I deploy this to the production server (http://
myapp.appspot.com) the non-ascii data is converted to question marks
(?).
I understand that setting the Content-Type as above should be
sufficient to dispatch the data to the url u.
I could understand this to be a problem at the url u end if both the
developement and production side behavior was the same. However that
is not the case, the problem occurs only in the production server.
Does anyone have a similar experience? Is there a setting in web.xml/
appengine-web.xml that is missing?
I could see a similar post here:
http://groups.google.com/group/google-appengine-java/browse_thread/thread/3ff6e79ab012011a/3785452903953334?lnk=gst&q=utf-8+post+data#3785452903953334
I am not sure if the query was resolved, but that question mentions a
difference in the behavior between development and production too.
This is on GAE 1.3.5. I could upgrade to GAE 1.3.6 if that helps (I
would upgrade today anyway and check if there is a difference in
behavior but none is mentioned in the release notes.)
Any pointers/workarounds would be appreciated.

Alok
