Great enhancement for all non-A-Z languages.
 
How will the encoding be stored in the DBF-file? 
ESRI has two ways of doing this, either storing LDID in the DBF header or 
creating a textfile <filename>.cpg which stores the codepage.

Ämne: [Geoserver-devel] [jira] Created: (GEOS-2399) Need a way to specify the 
encoding of shapefiles generated with SHAPE-ZIP output format

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
