hi, i have run into a problem with non ascii-url characters. When there is e.g. the German ä = ä in an URL, I have to encode it as follows: APACHE alone, non-ascii character anywhere: http://mydomain.de/d%E4mlich.html TOMCAT standalone, non-ascii character anywhere: http://mydomain.de:8080/requ%E4st.jsp?dummy=d%E4mlich APACHE+TOMCAT, non-ascii character in parameters: http://mydomain.de/request.jsp?dummy=d%E4mlich Now before you say, this is really getting boring, watch out: APACHE+TOMCAT, non-ascii character in URI-part: http://mydomain.de/requ%C3%A4st.jsp Obviously, in the last example, the encoding follows rather Unicode than ISO-Latin. As this is conflicting with the "usual" behaviour shown above, I am looking for a solution for the last case. Does anybody know a workaround or a version of apache or tomcat or mod_jk that would solve the problem ? TIA for your help, Stefan BTW I am using: tomcat 3.2.1 apache 1.3.19, connected through mod_jk solaris 2.8 on intel jdk 1.3 from sun
