Since the server doesn't know for sure what encoding is being used by the browser, it certainly does make a difference. If the browser uses the encoding from the last response, then the encoding from the last response is certainly relevant. If you cold-call the server with a URL, the server does not know what encoding to use. I believe that Tomcat's default is ISO-8859-1 (as inferred from http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/Intl/HTTPCharset/index.html, which points out the use of URIEncoding in the <Connector>), in spite of the W3C's recommendation to use UTF-8 (http://www.w3.org/TR/html40/appendix/notes.html#non-ascii-chars). > Just to be sure I edited the index.jsp of the ROOT app in which I have > created the "æøå.gif" file and changed the encoding to UTF-8, but with > no different result. Hmm... and did you still have URIEncoding="UTF-8" set in your <Connector>? Also, make sure that it's the right connector... Tomcat's default config file has a bunch of connectors that are commented-out. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGAbN09CaO5/Lv0PARAu9pAJwNwi3G/2j/P+ygJqjiHE0lj4IjAwCgiPgm b3KRLBeQc0h7E9b5SDyQPa8= =26jP -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
