Hello, Lima! lccb> I've found a message (at lccb> http://w6.metronet.com/~wjm/tomcat/2001/Mar/msg00547.html) :
lccb> "Tomcat follows the HTML standard, Hmm.., to me it looks like a browser issue, not Tomcat. Hence its a bit OT here, but still we have started the discussion :-) (again, as I have suggested before, Lima, you may want to spy your browser-tomcat traffic to make sure what bytes are transferred exactly, then you'll be sure who is mangling the data: Tomcat or browser, my feeling is that this is browser) lccb> which explicitly declares that MIME type lccb> "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" is suitable ONLY for transferring ASCII practice seems to be different lccb> (but will of course work for ISO 8859-1 as well). look, it's already funny: according to the standard "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" is suitable ONLY for transferring ASCII but according to this message the existing software will of course work for ISO 8859-1 did you enjoy this "of course"? ;-) lccb> See lccb> http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/interact/forms.html#h-17.13.4.1 lccb> It says: lccb> The content type "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" is inefficient lccb> for sending large quantities of binary data or text containing non-ASCII lccb> characters. The content type "multipart/form-data" should be used for lccb> submitting forms that contain files, non-ASCII data, and binary data." Yup, but in practice I beleive that we have succeded many times to send cyrillics this way. The browser was running on Windows however. All the browsers (huh, do I remember it correctly?) were using windows-1251 and koi8-r when the page was encoded with the respective encoding). lccb> SO : Red Hat Linux 9 I assume, both browser and Tomcat, right? lccb> Browsers : Galeon e Mozilla lccb> Reg. Settings: English lccb> Keyboard Set.: English (internacional) lccb> Locale : Not modified. The JVM is using [us,EN], i think. But thats lccb> ok because i prefer to test my application without change lccb> locale to [pt,BR] (we never know when 2 webapp will run using differents lccb> locale settings) what language are you typing in? what kind of characters get mungled? lccb> ((3)) I don't know why "page contentType" + "form enctype multipart" is lccb> the only working combination but its ok for me. I just would like to lccb> understand it :-| So do we :-) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
