[Geoserver-devel] [jira] Created: (GEOS-3523) outputformat=shape-zip generates shapefiles with utf-8 encoding

outputformat=shape-zip generates shapefiles with utf-8 encoding
---------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: GEOS-3523
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-3523
             Project: GeoServer
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: WFS
    Affects Versions: 2.0-RC1
            Reporter: Andreas Hocevar
            Assignee: Andrea Aime

When requesting features as shapefile, the shapefile is encoded in utf-8. This is quite unusual, because the shapefile format cannot handle 2-byte characters properly.

The expected behavior would be to use a default output format that does not produce 2-byte characters, like iso-8859-1.
