[JIRA] [core] (JENKINS-18799) Jenkins serves workspace files as ISO-8859-1 instead of UTF-8

[dan...@beckweb.net (JIRA)]

Daniel Beck commented on JENKINS-18799 Jenkins serves workspace files as ISO-8859-1 instead of UTF-8 but is it really that common for random projects to use random different charsets that do not match the system locale? Build systems can create tons of different artifacts. One of mine converts UTF-8 into about 30 different local char sets. And of course the files are in the workspace and viewable by me. How is defaulting to ISO-8859-1 better than defaulting to the system locale (which at least can be changed by the sysadmin)? It's not. Just saying it's not a really good solution either. The correct charset may well depend on the specific project you're building, and sometimes on the specific file. Note that non-UTF-* default charsets seem to be fairly common on Windows, while OS X moved to UTF-8 (from MacRoman) only around 10.8 or so AFAIK.
