Title: URL encoding Post by: Jan S. on December 03, 2014, 05:13:17 pm Hi,
we implement REST services in the Genero thru the GAS and have a problem with url encoding. Client can send us some searching criteria in url parameters. Criteria values can contain characters with Czech diacritics. for example: /gas/ws/r/pp/v1/prestupky?ulice=Boženy Němcové client uses UTF-8 to encode url : /gas/ws/r/pp/v1/prestupky?ulice=Bo%C5%BEeny%20N%C4%9Bmcov%C3%A9 FGLWSDEBUG output is OK: WS-DEBUG (Receive) GET /gas/ws/r/pp/v1/prestupky?ulice=Bo%C5%BEeny%20N%C4%9Bmcov%C3%A9 HTTP/1.1 WS-DEBUG END but url obtained by com.HTTPServiceRequest.getURL() contains wrong characters: /gas/ws/r/pp/v1/prestupky?ulice=BoĹženy NÄ~[mcovĂŠ It seems like Genero consider url to be encoded in ISO-8859-2 instead of UTF-8. We were trying set our environment completely to UTF-8 but with no luck. We are still getting wrong characters. What factors affect the url decoding? What shoud we change? Thanks Jan Title: Re: URL encoding Post by: Frank G. on December 03, 2014, 06:02:19 pm Hi,
This is a known issue registered as GWS-271 : HTTP client and server API should handle UTF-8 in URL encoding and decoding. Current implementation considers only ASCII characters during URL encoding and decoding. All characters not in the ASCII table will be escaped with %XX. I'm sorry, but if the client encodes the URL in UTF-8 first, Genero will not be able to URL decode it properly on server side because the %XX characters will simply by converted to locale charset. This will be fixed for Genero V3 as API will have to be updated to handle potential charset conversion error. Regards, Frank |
