RE: Getting a request in a non English character

[yair . fine]

Mark,
Your client and servlet works!! Thanks.
Now I have only one request,
I tried to modify the client, that instead of preparing a predefined line:
 String data = "name=" + URLEncoder.encode("\u05d9\u05d0\u05d9\u05e8",
"cp1255");
The client will read a file that is written in a windows -1255 encoding 

        BufferedReader  bri = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(new
FileInputStream("request"),"Cp1255"));
                                        String line = bri.readLine(); //
read just one line from hebrew request text 
        String data = URLEncoder.encode(line, "cp1255");
                                
And this some how doesn't work ,
Any suggestions?
Regard 
Yair

Got this working. Mainly just the issue of the encoding that was being used
for
the response from the servlet. You need to be careful with the names of the
encoding as they can differ between operating systems. My recommendation
would
be to always use UTF-8. My version of your servlet and client are below.

Hope this helps

SERVLET
=======
package test.encoding;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintWriter;

import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;

public class Echo extends HttpServlet {

    public Echo() {
        super();
    }

    public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse
response)
        throws ServletException, IOException {

        doPost(request, response);
    }

    public void doPost(
        HttpServletRequest request,
        HttpServletResponse response)
        throws ServletException, IOException {

        request.setCharacterEncoding("cp1255");
        
        response.setContentType("text/html; charset=windows-1255");
    
        PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
        String name = request.getParameter("name");
        out.println(name);
    }

}

            BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new
