Description

« Hide

This affects both head and 2.1.x

If users submit non-ASCII data as part of a test, the non-ASCII characters
are misinterpreted. getString needs to specify the encoding. Since our
pages are all forced to UTF-8 it seems safest to use that. Otherwise
we could get the encoding from the request.

FYI: why this works. assessment submission uses multipart/form-data because it has to be able to handle file uploads. The problem is that normal parameter handling doesn't exist for form-data. So if you do this you have to supply a filter that implements the normal parameter interface. That's UploadFilter.java. For normal (non-file) parameters, it pulls the value from where the file contents normally would be. It uses item.getString for that. getString takes an argument to specify the encoding. They forgot to supply that.
