> The fileupload package operates on a ServletRequest to conveniently extract it's
> content. The ServletRequest.getCharacterEncoding() method "Returns the name of
> the character encoding used in the body of this request", and thus should be
> used as a default by the fileupload processing as well.
> Further, whether from the servlet request or an explicit set on the FileUpload
> instance, the encoding should propagate to the FileItem (again by default,
> unless it's overridden by a part content type header or explicit set).
> Currently, in order to have a UTF-8 request properly parsed, one must first call
> request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8")
> then call
> diskFileUpload.setHeaderEncoding("UTF-8")
> and finally use
> fileItem.getString("UTF-8")
> There's no reason for this duplicity - if the first is set, the rest should
> propagate by default, unless explicitly overridden. This is a source for bugs
> and unneeded extra work (it took quite a while to figure these out, after
> examining the source code - this work can be saved for other developers, after
> all, that's what this package is for!).
