Make URL character encoding configurable in URLBuilder
------------------------------------------------------
Key: STS-885
URL: http://www.stripesframework.org/jira/browse/STS-885
Project: Stripes
Issue Type: New Feature
Affects Versions: Release 1.5.7
Environment: Apache Tomcat 7
Reporter: Alessio Stalla
Priority: Minor
The Stripes UrlBuilder (or better the StringUtil class it uses) always
encodes/decodes URLs in UTF-8. It would be useful to provide a way to choose a
different encoding.
Tomcat by default is configured to handle ISO-8859-1 encoded URLs, that is,
when a non-ASCII character is encoded with %nn in a URL, that nn is assumed to
be the code for a character in the ISO-8859-1 charset. It is possible to change
this default in Tomcat on a per-connector basis, but there are cases when our
application runs on a Tomcat installation that we have no control over. This
means that URLs with certain non-ASCII characters (e.g. the euro sign, or
Chinese characters), as well as RedirectResolution and everything else that
uses UrlBuilder, are broken when used on a default Tomcat installation, or one
which has been configured to encode URLs in some encoding different from UTF-8,
since they'll produce URLs with %-encodings that Tomcat interprets in a
different charset, resulting in corruption. And it's pretty much impossible to
override from user code.
