I've been experimenting with posting in Unicode-based XML content (UTF-8 encoded Chinese characters as it happens) to a JAX-RS resource. The content parameter to the resource method is a String and so the content from a post is ultimately read in with the org.restlet.ext.jaxrs.internal.provider.StringProvider. Unfortunately the non-ASCII characters come through garbled.
Digging around the StringProvider class, the problem looks to be with the Util.copyToStringBuilder method - it reads in the content a single byte at a time but then casts each byte to a char. The implication is that each character is one byte which, of course, for UTF-8 encoded characters is incorrect. The version of Restlet being used is 2.0-RC4. (I've tried including the charset HTTP header parameter in the Content-Type header and it makes no difference.) Am I missing something or is this a bug?
