Does the subject API ever return anything useful. Using Tomcat 5, I
can't get it to return anything but null. Googling around, it seems
that other servlet containers either always return null or always return
some default value (usually ISO-8859-1).
OK, getCharacterEncoding isn't completely useless. It is, however,
almost completely useless. AFAICT, it only works if the client includes
the encoding in the Content-Type HTTP header. If I manually create an
HTTP request with:
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=UTF-8
request.getCharacterEncoding returns UTF-8.
Unfortunately, neither IE nor Mozilla do this. There is a Mozilla bug
open:

I encourage anyone who is getting bitten by this issue to vote for this
bug.
