New issue 104 by
gcol...@gmail.com: Tomcat's URIEncoding="UTF-8" is
ignored by UrlRewriteFilter
http://code.google.com/p/urlrewritefilter/issues/detail?id=104
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Add the attribute URIEncoding="UTF-8" to Tomcat's
server.xml "<Connector>" tag.
2. Create a simple JSP page (e.g. "search.jsp") that prints out the "item"
parameter.
3. Call this JSP directly with an UTF-8 encoded URL, like :
http://localhost:8080/MyProject/search.jsp?item=m%C3%A9tro
The parameter is "métro" encoded in UTF-8, and it is correctly decoded by
Tomcat with respect to the URIEncoding="UTF-8" option.
4. Now, set up URL Rewrite Filter with the following rule :
<urlrewrite use-query-string="true" decode-using="UTF-8">
<rule match-type="regex">
<from>^/recherche\?item=([%\+\-0-9a-zA-Z;]+)$</from>
<to>/search.jsp?item=$1</to>
</rule>
</urlrewrite>
5. Call your JSP through the address :
http://localhost:8080/MyProject/recherche?item=m%C3%A9tro
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It should return "métro", just like the direct call to the JSP. Instead, it
displays the ISO-8859-1 string : "métro".
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Tomcat 7 and URL Rewrite Filter 3.2
