Character Encodings Suggestion

           Summary: Character Encodings Suggestion
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.1.12
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: Connector:Coyote HTTP/1.1
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: i_bakalov@yahoo.com


I suggest that the default character encoding should be set as variable (may be 
in the server.xml configuration file) rather than being hard-coded in the 
source of the connector (in fact it is hard-coded in catalina source if you are 
using the old connector), and the catalina server itself. I am using Tomcat for 
a long time (may be 2 years) and this problem exists from the early versions. 
When I am setting up a new version I always have to modify the code and to set 
the encoding to a cyrillic one like "windows-1251". Otherwise the url-decoding 
is not done properly and the cyrillic words that I send in a request appear 
corrupted.
