Yes, it works. First, verify `tomcat->browser': please try to render your page with "wget -S" to see precisely the headers (Content-Type must specify UTF-8) and the contents (double-check the output is UTF-8) (to verify your browser is not bugged). Second, verify `browser->tomcat': use a proxy (or netcat in listen mode) to precisely see what headers your browser is sending (if you will use the filter to force UTF-8, that doesn't matter much) and the encoding of the data. Typically, browsers will encode in UTF-8 if the page containing the form was using UTF-8 itself, but accept-charset can do no harm, but as you noticed they don't set the charset in the Content-Type header they use (according to mozilla's bugzilla, it's because it breaks too many servers); but you have to double-check that (in my experience, mozilla and MSIE do work). -- Guillaume Cottenceau --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
