Method GET decodes wrong, POST decodes ok

           Summary: Method GET decodes wrong, POST decodes ok
           Product: Tomcat 5
           Version: 5.0.28
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Catalina
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: kuhn@fg.cz


If I use html form with method GET, Tomcat doesn't decode URL parameters in 
correct way. You can submit the JSP file bellow with parameter

example.jsp?input=%C5%BEena

The correct result should look like 'zena' (with accented letter 'z'), but the 
value shown is 'Å¾ena'. If you run the example with Tomcat 4.1, you would see 
the correct result.

I'm not sure which component causes this behaviour so I choose Catalina.

Tomcat versions:
4.1.x - ok

5.0.28 - KO
5.5.2 - KO

example JSP file:

<%@
 page contentType="text/html;charset=utf-8" language="java"
%><%
    request.setCharacterEncoding("utf-8");
    String value = request.getParameter("input");
    if (value == null) value = "";
%>
<html>
<head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
</head>
<body>

<form action="#" method="get">
    <input type="text" name="input" value="<%=value%>">
    <input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

</body>
</html>
