[opencms-dev] Request character encoding - An answer with a n ew Q

[Sven Bonorden]

There are several places in OpenCms source code (we only used 5.0.1) 
where either ISO-8859-1 is hardcoded or a String is converted using 
String.getBytes() without specifying an encoding so a "system default 
encoding" is used which is neither the defaultEncoding specified in 
opencms.properties nor the file.encoding property specified for the Java VM.
If that's still the same in current cvs head, maybe one of the 
developers should do a full search and check these conversions.

At least these functions did not work correct on our system (using UTF-8 
as default encoding):
- properties title and navtext when creating a new page
- email content
- request parameters of multipart forms
