Re: i was troubled when using chinese at request body

[Oleg Kalnichevski <ol...@apache.org>]

Hi there

Firstly, one part of the problem is that you do not URL encode your
query parameters

This is not sufficient

GetMethod get = new GetMethod("http://url/?text="+s);

Please do the following instead:

GetMethod get = new GetMethod("http://url/");
NameValuePair[] params = new NameValuePair[] {
	new NameValuePair("text", s)
};
get.setQueryString(EncodingUtil.formUrlEncode(params, "gb2312"));

Secondly, my guess it that the web server does not include the charset
in the content-type header, which causes getResponseCharSet method to
return the default charset (iso-8859-1) instead of expected gb2312

See the following document for more details:
<http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/charencodings.html>

To verify this assumption you may activate and examine the wire log:
<http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/logging.html>

To mend the problem you can simply retrieve the raw response body as
array of bytes and perform the character translation manually with the
desired charset

String responseBody = null;
byte[] rawdata = get.getResponseBody();
if (rawdata != null) {
  responseBody = HttpConstants.getContentString(rawdata, "gb2312");
}

Hope this helps

Oleg
