Need a way to specify the encoding of shapefiles generated with SHAPE-ZIP
output format
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: GEOS-2399
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-2399
Project: GeoServer
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: WFS
Affects Versions: 1.7.0
Reporter: Andrea Aime
Assignee: Andrea Aime
Fix For: 1.7.2
At the moment the platform default encoding is used, it may not suit the chars
that will be encoded in the shapefile (and UTF8 is not a common charset for
shapefiles, the common one is ISO-8859-1, but the latter does not work well
with non western scripts).
Ideas collected so far:
* allow the specification in the output format name:
SHAPE-ZIP;encoding=ISO-8859-15
* allow the specification as a GET parameter (and keep it as a GET parameter
even with POST requests): ...&format_options=encoding:ISO-8859-15
