POST method - Default content encoding

["Mathis Thomas (VTG)" <ma...@vtg.at>]

I think that the default encoding for a post should also be ISO-8859-1, is
that right?

With the latest nightly build I sent a post to a server with german umlauts
and these characters were endoded with UTF-8. I used following code:

....
PostMethod post = new PostMethod();
post.setHttp11( true );
post.setPath( "/samplepath" );
post.addParameter( "TXT", "Testtext: öäüÖÄÜß");
String s;
try {
  //post.setRequestHeader( "Content-Type", "text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1"
);
  int ret = client.executeMethod( post );
  s = post.getRequestBodyAsString();
  System.out.println( "requestBody=" + s );
} catch (Exception ex ) {
  ex.printStackTrace();
}
....

The output is :
requestBody=TXT=Testtext%3A%20%C3%B6%C3%A4%C3%BC%C3%96%C3%84%C3%9C%C3%9F
but schould be: requestBody=TXT=Testtext%3A%20%F6%E4%FC%D6%C4%DC%DF
Even if I use the outcommented line it does not change the output.

Thanks in advance,
Thomas

The bug should be fixed with one of the recent patches. Please let me
know if the problem persists

Cheers
