Please add a configuration for character encoding of request

           Summary: Please add a configuration for character encoding of
                    request
           Product: Struts
           Version: 1.1 Beta 3
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Controller
        AssignedTo: struts-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: azariah@tumbleweed.com


We need a Struts configuration parameter to specify the character encoding to 
be used to decode the HTTP request data. The existing "contentType" attribute 
in the controller configuration only specifies the encoding to be used to 
encode the HTTP response and to set the HTTP Header for character encoding in 
the HTTP Response. It does not specify the encoding for the request.

If the request had a HTTP Header that specified the encoding, then I would 
assume that that should take precedence. In practice, I did not see browsers 
sending the character encoding in HTTP Header. Alteast IE 6.0 didnt.
