The fix was to default encode strings from Ruby, Python and Perl using UTF-8. I verified it with the Perl and Ruby clients again the Java Drain tool and it works correctly.
The JIRAs are: QPID-5067: Default string encoding for dynamic languages should be UTF-8 QPID-4835: JMS client is unable to read the application headers of messages sent by the ruby clients I asked Weston to verify it for me. -- Darryl L.
