Wrong re-encoding of request parameter values
---------------------------------------------

                 Key: SLING-1879
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-1879
             Project: Sling
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Engine
    Affects Versions: Engine 2.1.0
            Reporter: Davide Maestroni
            Priority: Critical


When the request character encoding is different from the sling servlet 
default, i.e. ISO-8859-1, the request parameter values are wrongly re-encoded.
In fact, in case the request encoding is UTF-8 and one of the parameter values 
is "Orlèans", when ContainerRequestParameter.setEncoding() is called, the value 
is first encoded into bytes using UTF-8 and then the same bytes are passed to 
the new string with the ISO-8859-1 encoding. Thus what is effectively done is: 

this.value = new String("Orlèans".getBytes("UTF-8"), "ISO-8859-1")

The resulting value is obviously wrong: "Orlèans".
