Hi all,
Per URI's specification (RFC 2396), the character set of URI is US-ASCII. There
are ways to encode non-ASCII characters in URI outside the scope of the RFC. In
fact, the general way to send non-ASCII input in HTTP in HTTP request body so
that the character set information can be tagged with "Content-Type" header in
the request. That boils down to the use of POST method instead of GET method if
you are actually using HTML form input. I hope that the browsers are setting
the "Content-Type" header with character set actually and the Web servers and
Servlet/JSP runners are decoding the characters correctly.
I haven't done an extensive research on it. This is just what I find out from
the spec briefly.
Thanks.
Rob

Hi!
I think you may not need to use any of the io classes to convert the
encoding of the query]
string. (I assume you are using the JDK 1.2.2 here, and my comments will be
based on that
assumption.)
When you obtain the querystring from the request, it is probably transformed
from bytes and
encoded using a particular character encoding (probably the default of the
platform). As a result,
you should be able to use one of the getBytes methods of the String class in
order to obtain
a byte array. With this Byte array, you can create a new String with a
specified encoding (see
the JavaDocs for String constructors.)
This process should get you a Big5 version of the queryString.
