Hello,
I would greatly appreciate your help.
I am aware that an earlier post mentions problems with character encodings. I've also read the material on the httpclient site. I can only
assume that I am doing something incorrectly or my problems are due to a lack of understanding concerning character encoding.
Specifically we are sending XML in the body of a post. As an example of the kind of output I am getting I have created a small example.
The following code segment results in the log out-put below:
log.debug("Start.");
String characters =
"These are the characters - Abcde;+[X�����] - some may fail."; log.debug("Content String: " + characters); URL url = new URL("http://localhost:1234/ppsi/xxx.hxi";);
PostMethod post = new PostMethod();
post.setRequestBody(characters);
post.setRequestContentLength(characters.length());
post.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "text/plain; charset=UTF-8");HttpClient cl = new HttpClient(); cl.getHostConfiguration().setHost(url.getHost(), url.getPort()); cl.executeMethod(post);
log.debug("end.");

Why do the Unicode "placeholder" characters result? Shouldn't the UTF-8 Encoding be able to handle them? Why is the output truncated?
Thanks.
