------------------------------------
Nick, nice find on the header being hard-coded to UTF-8 in XMLLayout!
I agree that the default encoding for XMLLayout should be UTF-8 if the user did
not specify a charset in the config, but I would prefer to fix the hard-coded
header to use the specified charset instead. I think it is ok to use
user-specified encodings for XML
(http://www.w3schools.com/xml/xml_encoding.asp) as long as the header correctly
reflects that.
Otherwise what you're saying sounds reasonable.
Perhaps the default encoding depends on the layout?
UTF-8: XMLLayout, RFC5424Layout (actually RFC5424 seems to require UTF-8 or
US-ASCII)
Platform default: BasicLayout, PatternLayout
Not sure about HTMLLayout (leaning towards UTF-8) and SyslogLayout (no clue...
What software would be used to view these log records?).
Regardless of what default we choose for HTMLLayout, the header needs to
include the encoding name, for example:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
something like this should follow the <head> element near the top of the
document.
