Hi, I'm using Karaf 4.2.1 on environments which doesn't have a UTF-8 encoding for instance Windows 10 or AIX with ISO-8859-1 encoding. When I open a SSH session with the "client" script or with another SSH client, the non-ascii characters are not displayed correctly. For instance the result of the "bundle:list" command prints "?" instead of "|" :
karaf@root()> bundle:list START LEVEL 100 , List Threshold: 50 ID ? State ? Lvl ? Version ? Name ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? 23 ? Active ? 80 ? 4.2.1 ? Apache Karaf :: OSGi Services :: Event After some investigations I have found that the class org.apache.karaf.shell.ssh.SshTerminal has a hard coded UTF-8 value in its constructor : public SshTerminal(Environment environment, InputStream input, OutputStream output) throws IOException { super("Karaf SSH terminal", environment.getEnv().get(Environment.ENV_TERM), input, output, StandardCharsets.UTF_8); I have replaced StandardCharsets.UTF_8 with null and when running Karaf with this modification, I do not have the character issue anymore. Do you think it is a valid correction ? I can open a jira ticket if you want. Regards, -- Nicolas Dutertry
