RE RE: [PATCH] Add EBCDIC support for text files in Tomcat.

["Clere, Jean-Frederic" <jf...@fujitsu.siemens.es>]

Hi all,

Thanks for all comments.

I have collected some topic from Apache about EBCDIC:
http://www.apache.org/docs/ebcdic.html
http://www.apache.org/docs/readme-tpf.html

So all "text" files have to be converted. I agree that the conversion
is normaly useless for the machines that  are using ASCII character
set. The solution is probably to have the information that we want
convertion in a configuration file. (default: No conversion, the risk
to introduce performance problems is reduced).

In Tomcat there is already a conversion from Unicode to ASCII,
On write for example:
All http headers are String so Unicode, they are send via a socket
so they have to converted somewhere.

I will go on doing my porting
