: I am only suggesting it for GET requests where the params are pulled : off the query string. Apparently, UTF-8 is the *only* ok URL encoding : : http://www.w3.org/International/O-URL-code.html : : It is strange, that resin and tomcat don't observe this unless it is : specified as the default encoding. If it can't hurt anything, i think : its a good idea for solr.
my point is that we should not be trying to work arround any bugs / bad defaults in the servlet containers -- especially if the only way to do it prevents the possibility of a user explicitly telling us what charset they want to use, and we ignore them. At the moment it might not seem like it can hurt anything, but it might cause problems we haven't thought of (if not now, then in the future) and it doesn't acctually "fix" any bug in Solr -- if it's not our bug, we should just document it as an issue some servlet contains have. if nothing else it might contribute to a users choice as to what serlet container to use -- it's not our job to shield users from bad servlet container implementations. -Hoss
