Asher,
A few questions...
What do you put in the text box on the form and what output do you see?
Are you really using "<form act="/tests/utf.jsp" method=post>" or do you mean
<form action="/tests/utf.jsp" method=post>?
When I did my test I copied your UTF-8 character form the bugzilla report and
pasted into the text box. I was seeing question marks in the output until I
added the <[EMAIL PROTECTED] pageEncoding="UTF-8"%> The test was on XP (as per the bug
report) and I assume you used IE as the browser.
The URI encoding is a red herring in this case. Because you are using post it is
only the request encoding that matters.
The full text of my test JSP is below.
Mark
<%@ page language="java" import="java.lang.*,java.util.*" %>
<%@ page pageEncoding="UTF-8" %>
<html>
<body>
<form action="bug29900.jsp" method=post>
<input type=text name=source >
<input type=submit>
<form>
<p>
<%
request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");
if(request.getParameter("source")!=null)
{
out.println(request.getParameter("source").length()+"<p>");
out.println(request.getParameter("source"));
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
for(int i=0; i<request.getParameter("source").length(); i++)
{
if(request.getParameter("source").charAt(i) == '&')
sb.append("&");
else
sb.append(request.getParameter("source").charAt(i));
}
out.println("<p>"+ sb.toString());
}
%>
</body>
</html>
