Connect Rest - Encoding special characters to UTF-8 is not working
Hi,
I have requirement where I need to pass metadata (in JSON fomat) & attachment using Post method of connect-rest. This works fine when metadata does not contain any special characters.
But if metadata contain some special characters -> *, /,|, [,],:,' then service provider expects to encode these characters in UTF-8 format and send in request.
Even i am encoding these characters to UTF-8 but and I can see it in the tracer and clipboard that special characters are converted to UTF-8.
But the request at the service provider end is received without encoding.
Please let me know on how to resolve this problem in connect rest.
Example:
"TestProducts:Test Products/Video/Videoscape/Test Videoscape Origination Suite/Test Digital Encoders/Test D9096 4:2:2 10-Bit AVC Encoder" - colon : is special character
"TestProducts:Test Products/Test Interfaces and Modules/Test Services Modules/Test MGX Service Resource Module Enhanced [SRM-E]" - brackets [ ] are special character

As you are mentioning like you are able to find encoded format in clipboard as well better enable Debug logger for pyInvokeRESTConnector and capture the request in logs so that we can see whether the request is encoded or not if not then you can Check your SMA ('prsysmgmt') - the first page - scroll to the bottom and see what 'file.encoding' is if it is other than UTF-8 then add -Dfile.encoding=UTF8 at JVM arguments.

Hi Narasimha,

Even I am facing the same issue ...when sending special char in the request of Connect-Rest using PUT method,value is not stored in DB whereas it saves the data without special char.

I have checked SMA(prsysmgmt) and file.encoding is UTF8 but still facing the issue.

Do I need to add -Dfile.encoding=UTF8 at jvm arguments though file.encoding is UTF8.

 Regards,

Archana Singh
