We are trying to take in french characters into an agent that's receiving content from an HTTP POST. When we get the documentContext and grab the contents of the CGI REQUEST_CONTENT variable, the french characters are all messed up. The calling system has set the output stream to UTF-8, and when I rewrite the agent as a servlet and set the InputStreamReader to UTF-8, it works like a charm. However, we can't get the agent to receive the posted french data correctly.

We have tried the following:

Document xmlDoc = agentContext.getDocumentContext();
InputStream is = new ByteArrayInputStream(xmlDoc.getItemValueString("REQUEST_CONTENT").getBytes("UTF-8"));
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));

and

Document xmlDoc = agentContext.getDocumentContext();
byte[] bytes = xmlDoc.getItemValueString("REQUEST_CONTENT").getBytes("UTF-8");
ByteArrayInputStream bais = new ByteArrayInputStream(bytes);
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(bais));

Neither of these approaches have worked.

Is there a way to tell the session or agentContext to expect UTF-8?

Thanks,
Scott.
