AW: Charset Problem?

I'm having the same problem: Cocoon web app running on
NT4.0, Tomcat 3.2.1, IIS 4.0 in our intranet. When I
enter umlauts into a form they get all scrambled up,
however, today I have noticed that when I do it with
Opera, it works fine. It also works perfectly when I
use another web server. I'm not sure if it really is a
problem with the redirector. Does anybody have a clue?

Betreff: Charset Problem?Hi,
does anyone know this problem. Having an HTML form the
user may type
words like 'Köln' (ö -> special german character). In
one case the
server receives the parameter 'Köln', in the other
case it receives only'K'.
On the other hand the server has no problem to build +
send HTML pages
that contain words like 'Köln'.
The Browser is always the same (i.e. Opera 5.0, IE
4.0).
The application is the same.
Could it be a charset problem? But I think by default,
a server parses
parameters using the common Latin-1 (ISO 8859-1)
charset. That works for
Western European languages.Works::
Configuration: Tomcat 3.2.1, MS-SQL 7, NT 4, runing in
intranetDoesn't work:
Configuration: Tomcat 3.2.1 as in-process addon with
IIS 4, MS-SQL 7, NT
4, runing in internetGreetings,Andreas

It is not a bug in the redirector, it just depends on
the HTML Doctype tag, the language part just has to be
DE in my case. Works fine now.
