UTF-8 & ISO-8859-1

[Navanith]

Hi,

If we set requestEncoding and responseEncoding to iso-
8859-1, extended characters passed via query string can
be retrieved properly using Request.QueryString method.

If we set requestEncoding and responseEncoding to utf-8,
extended characters are missing

Can anybody tell me why?

Thanks in advance
Nav

Just a guess, but have you tested this only in a browser? You might want to
try using something like wfetch.exe and/or try some other browsers than IE.

If it appears to be browser dependent, change the IE option for URL encoding
and see what happens.
