[Geoserver-devel] [jira] Created: (GEOS-4418) Include charset as an optional parameter in REST URL's

Include charset as an optional parameter in REST URL's
------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: GEOS-4418
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-4418
             Project: GeoServer
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: REST
    Affects Versions: 2.1.x
            Reporter: Matt Bertrand
            Assignee: Andrea Aime
            Priority: Minor
         Attachments: chinese_poly.zip, restconfig_charset_param.patch

When importing shapefiles to PostGIS via REST URL's, attributes with UTF-8 encoded text (such as Chinese characters) are not imported correctly into PostGIS. I managed to get around this by modifying org.geoserver.catalog.rest.DataStoreFileResource to accept an optional "charset" query parameter.

Example: http://localhost:8080/gs21/rest/workspaces/geonode/datastores/wmpostgis/file.shp?charset=UTF-8
