The HTTP spec is vague. It has many references to ISO8859-1. IIRC, there is a
connector option to decode parameters as UTF-8.

According to
http://www.w3.org/TR/html40/appendix/notes.html#non-ascii-chars
request parameters are encoded in UTF-8. A simple form test suffices to
confirm that my user-agents (Camino and Safari) correctly encode both
POST and GET request parameters in UTF-8.
It seems this may be a long-standing bug in Tomcat, preventing the
posting of non-ASCII text from standards-compliant user-agents. I can't
find anything matching in Bugzilla though. Is there a good reason for
using Latin-1 here?
