Bug report #784 has just been filed. You can view the report at the following URL: <http://znutar.cortexity.com/BugRatViewer/ShowReport/784> REPORT #784 Details. Project: Servlet API Category: Bug Report SubCategory: New Bug Report Class: swbug State: received Priority: high Severity: critical Confidence: public Environment: Release: 4.0.b1 JVM Release: 1.3 Operating System: Linux (Mandrake) OS Release: 7.2 Platform: Intel Synopsis: Servlet Request getCharacterEncoding returns Incorrect value on Netscape. Description: The servlet request getCharacterEncoding method always returns the string "ISO-8859-1". I have set the character set of the response using method setContentType() in the previous execution to "text/html charset=UTF-8". Both Netscape and Internet Explorer recognize this charset as eight bit compressed Unicode and correctly display and enter characters using the specified encoding. Netscape also returns the request header with a "charset=UTF-8" entry. However, IE does ont place a charset entry in the request header. So, for Netscape, the getCharacteEncoding() method should return the string "UTF-8" (or converted to JAVA name 'UTF8'). For IE, the getCharacterEncoding() method should return NULL because no character encoding was specified in the request header.Title: BugRat Report # 784
