http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=24631 Struts tags use bytes of UTF-8 for urlencoding unconditionally Summary: Struts tags use bytes of UTF-8 for urlencoding unconditionally Product: Struts Version: Nightly Build Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: Custom Tags AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Struts urlencodes non-ascii characters using bytes of UTF-8 unconditionally. Although in the w3c's specification, UTF-8 is 'recommended' as character encoding method for non-ascii url string, this approach is not feasible in many case. Consider following scenario. I have a url that handle a search query. The pages of the site are character encoded in some encoding ,say, EUC-JP, so the POST request comes in EUC-JP encoding. I want the url to handle both GET request and POST request, so that I can embed a search string within href of some anchor elements. I think this is very common scenario. Now, when I use struts' html:forward tag, it is not possible because the GET request comes character-encoded in UTF-8, because the taglib uses UTF-8, and the POST request, from form submission, comes in EUC-JP because the page itself is encoded in EUC-JP. Same url, same request parameter, but different bytes... And when the request comes in, there is no reliable way to tell what character encoding system should be used to decode the incoming bytes. So I think it makes more sense for tags like html:forward, html:rewrite and html:image to have option to specify either to use local encoding (obtained from HttpResponse#getCharacterEncoding) or to use UTF-8 as encoding method to get bytes. Right now, I am setting ServletRequest#setCharacterEncoding to UTF-8 if the request method is 'GET', settting it to EUC-JP if the method is 'POST'. This is only possible because I am not using 'GET' for fom submission and can break if I need to change it. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
