[Helma-user] jetty upgrade broke UTF-8 URLs

[Michael Platzer]

Hi,

The recent upgrade from Jetty 4.2.22 to 4.2.27 in Helma HEAD broke our 
beautiful utf-8 URLs [1]

Until now I was able to handle UTF-8 escaped URLs with mod_jk with the 
following settings:
  charset = UTF-8
and
 JkOptions +ForwardURIEscaped

After I upgraded twoday.net to the most recent Helma 1.6.x snapshot, 
users complained that they can not access topics with Umlauts anymore 
[2]. As soon as I downgraded Jetty to 4.2.22 again, everything worked 
fine again.

I could also reproduce this bevahiour in a local setup with mod_jk. I 
also tried to the other available JkOptions (+ForwardURICompatUnparsed, 
+ForwardURICompat), but with no success. I am not able to serve utf-8 
escaped URLs with mod_jk and Jetty 4.2.27. What puzzles me, is that the 
Jetty ChangeLog does not mention anything related to UTF-8 (see below).

Should we consider downgrading Jetty again to version 4.2.27?

greets,
  michi
