Using coldbox, Coldfusion 9.
I have tested this with a form-post and a url parameter. In both cases, I submit the string:
"à á Ã Ä Å Æ Ç È É Ê Ë Ì Í Î Ï Ð Ñ Ò Ó Ô Õ Ö Ø Ù Ú Û Ü ß"
, and in both cases I immediately dump the input to the browser, which now looks like:
"à á à à à à à à à à à à à à à à à à à à à à à à à à à Ã"
.
The meta-tag has: charset=utf-8 and I have also tried charset=iso-8859-1.
It makes no difference.
GetLocale() = en_IE
GetEncoding("url") = UTF-8
GetEncoding("form") = UTF-8
Now, what's interesting is that I built a simple CF page on the same server but outside of the Coldbox framework and the characters display correctly after the form/url post.
In Coldbox, the form and url values are transferred to the RequestCollection (RC). If I dump the RC immediately after the form/url post I see the wrong characters.
Therefore it is starting to look like Coldbox is taking the 'good' characters out of the native url/form scope and putting the 'bad' characters in their place in the RC.
Can anyone suggest where I can look next? Is there a ColdBox setting I should look for? Might it be something else entirely?
UPDATE
I am calling the script with SES-style routing like this:
/index.cfm/Organisation/get/q/à á Ã Ä Å Æ Ç È É Ê Ë Ì Í Î Ï Ð Ñ Ò Ó Ô Õ Ö Ø Ù Ú Û Ü ß
If I call it in a more conventional manner, I get the correct characters to display!
/index.cfm/Organisation/get?q=à á Ã Ä Å Æ Ç È É Ê Ë Ì Í Î Ï Ð Ñ Ò Ó Ô Õ Ö Ø Ù Ú Û Ü ß
Trouble is, the whole application uses SES so I can't start refactoring it. So I need to find something in the SES configuration that makes it go wrong. Weird...
Anybody seen this before?
