non-Latin-1 characters cannot be submitted for search
-----------------------------------------------------
Key: NUTCH-138
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-138
Project: Nutch
Type: Bug
Components: web gui
Versions: 0.7.1
Environment: Windows XP, Tomcat 5.5.12
Reporter: KuroSaka TeruHiko
Priority: Minor
The search.html currently specifies GET method for query submission.
Tomcat 5.x only allows ISO-8859-1 (aka Latin-1) code set to be submitted over
GET because of some restrictions of HTML or HTTP spec they discovered. (If my
memory is correct, non ISO-8859-1 characters were woking OK over GET with older
versions of Tomcat as far as setCharacterEncoding() is called properly.)
To allow proper transmission of non-ISO-8859-1, POST method should be used.
Here's a proposed patch:
*** search.html Tue Dec 13 15:02:15 2005
--- search-org.html Tue Dec 13 15:02:07 2005

BTW, I am aware that Nutch and Lucene won't hanlde non Western languages well
as packaged.
