Dear all,
I think something is wrong with parsing parameters for get requests with
binary encoding, although request.getCharacterEncoding() is null, the output is
different in red hat linux, consider the following test case:
------------ Servlet code ------------
protected void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse res)
throws ServletException, IOException {
System.out.println( "Query String is " + request.getQueryString() );
String text = request.getParameter( "text" );
for( byte b : text.getBytes() )
System.out.print( "0x" + Integer.toHexString( b ) + ' ' );
}
------------ client code ------------
get( "http://host:port/app/servletname?text=%24%F6%10%30%00"; );
private static String get(String url) throws IOException {
try {
URL _url = new URL(url);
InputStream _is = _url.openStream();
int length = _is.available();
byte[] _out = new byte[length];
_is.read(_out, 0, length);
_is.close();
return new String(_out);
} catch (Exception e) {}
return null;
}
------------ end of code ------------
Windows Output:
Query String is text=%24%F6%10%30%00
0x24 0xfffffff6 0x10 0x30 0x0
Linux output:
Query String is text=%24%F6%10%30%00
0x24 0xffffffc3 0xffffffb6 0x10 0x30 0x0
version used is:

What do you think the reason for this discripancy?
Many thanks in advance,
