getBytes() is deprecated for the reason that different VMs/OSs have different default encoding.
could that be the cause of your problem?

what if you try getBytes("ISO-8859-1") on both platforms, do you still get diff results?

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, Yours,
