CGI script which outputs Russian text in UTF-8
Tomcat CGIServlet which is distributed with Tomcat performs undesirable
conversion of CGI script output encoding.
This conversion is performed indirectly by the servlet (which passes data
through a memory stream) and depends on character encoding environment
variables (LANG/LC_ALL/...), at least on UNIX-like systems.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Install Tomcat
2. Create a CGI script which outputs non-ascii7 data.
3. Set up Tomcat for running CGI scripts (a la
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/cgi-howto.html)
4. Set up any single-byte language environment (for example, say 'export
LANG=C' in bash)
5. Start Tomcat instance in that single-byte language environment
6. Make a request to CGI script.
All non-ascii7 characters in the CGI output will be replaced with quotation
marks.
This behaviour is different from any other CGI implementation and is unexpected
by any "normal" user.
