-----Original Message----- From: Oxley, David [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2003 5:30 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: UTF-8 characters When a response to the browser is in UTF-8 encoding form responses from said page are giving UTF-8 characters when req.getParameter is called. i.e. instead of getting é, I get the UTF-8 encoding é returned to our servlet. Surely the getParameter method should return é as it does with other encodings. Is this a bug?
