Hello, Lima!

Hi, Anton.


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)

How can i spy the traffic between Tomcat and the browsers ?


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"? ;-)

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).

?

what language are you typing in? what kind of characters get mungled?


Characters from brazilian portuguese. Like 'á', 'ç', 'ã', ...
