Summary: Decoding URI encoded in UTF-16 does not work correctly.
Product: Tomcat 6
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Catalina
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The request URL decoder component is not doing it's job correctly for UTF-16.
URL encoding rules state that URLs are encoded in ASCII, while non-ascii
characters and special characters are encoded using the % encoding, using a
specified charset.
The problem is that the UDecode and ByteChunk classes used to decode request
URLs in catalina do not work according to these rules:
UDecode converts all the % encodings to bytes, and then ByteChunk.toString
converts the whole buffer to a string according to the specified encoding.
So, a UTF-16-encoded URL that looks like this:
http://a.com?utf16parameter=%D%7
which is decoded properly with java's URLDecoder.decode() method, is not
decoded properly by catalina, since the characters
'http://a.com?utf16parameter=' are not UTF-16 characters. UDecode convert %D%7
to bytes, but then ByteChunk chokes when trying to decode the whole string as
UTF-16, while %D%7 are the only bytes it should have attempted to decode.
Don't tell me to use UTF-8 in my pages so that the browsers will use UTF-8 to
encode, I'm in a situation where this is impossible.
