Comment:
Unfortunately, I need to reopen this because there is still a problem.
My original patch suggested `utf-8` as default encoding, but you changed
this to `iso-8859-1`, probably because that actually once was the default
encoding for http 1.1. But as a result the patch does not play well
together with TG now, which is using `utf-8`.
You can test this by quickstarting a project and creating a user with a
non-ascii name using the admin tool. The browser (I tested this with
Firefox) is simply using the encoding of the page containing the form,
which in the case of TG is `utf-8` by default. The details are explained
[http://www.alanflavell.org.uk/charset/form-i18n.html here].
As a solution, I suggest making the default charset configurable with an
additional parameter in the `__init__` method of the `FriendlyFormPlugin`.
The default could be either `utf-8` or `iso-8859-1` but I'd prefer the
former. Then that parameter should be set to `utf-8` in the
`setup_sql_auth` method of repoze.what.quickstart. Or this could also be
passed in to `setup_sql_auth` from the TG config, similar to other
parameters such as `login_handler` or `logout_handler`.
I can attach the necessary patches if you agree that's the way to go.
