Sangjin Lee commented on GERONIMO-3638:
---------------------------------------

Hmm, I swear I remember seeing the RFCs (2616 and 2396 which supplants 1738) 
mention different *URL* encoding than us-ascii (e.g. utf-8), but I cannot find 
it at the moment...

At minimum, shouldn't we use "ISO-8859-1" or "US-ASCII" explicitly instead of 
using Charset.defaultCharset()?  If the JVM is running on a non-US box, 
Charset.defaultCharset() would return a different charset than ascii, no?  
Thanks.

> should allow URL encoding with custom encoding charset other than the default

> Currently AsyncHttpClient uses Chartset.defaultCharset() when it encodes the 
> query string.  However, applications may want to use a different encoding 
> than the machine default charset; e.g. UTF-8.  It needs to provide a way to 
> specify an encoding that AHC should use to encode the query string.
