[opencms-dev] Encoding problem when form type is multipart/form-data

[Sven Bonorden]

Ivan,

we had the same problem in OpenCms 5.0.1.
Request parameter values from multipart forms were always encoded in 
ISO-8859-1 independent of the settings in Jsp, Cms or Java (which were 
all UTF-8 for us).
We could solve the problem by reencoding the getParameter results from 
ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8 but I don't know if that also works for Cyrillic chars.
