B4J Question WebSocket's Jetty and Special Characters - Error

David Meier · Feb 21, 2018

Hi
I am trying out b4j and web sockets. I started with the hello world programme (https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/attachments/serverhelloworld-zip.22271/).
When using the static form and entering certain special characters like "ö" jetty crashes:
java.lang.RuntimeException: org.eclipse.jetty.http.BadMessageException: 400: Unable to parse form content.

Does anybody know how to remediate?

Kind regards

David

After having tried hard before sending off the posting I found it out shortly after:
In the webpage that holds the form, the charset needs to be correct. To be safe I guess it needs to be equal to the setting in the b4j module though with me it works without setting anything in the b4j script:

Code in webpage:

HTML:

<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
</head>

In script:

B4X:

resp.CharacterEncoding = "UTF-8"

That's it. You could also have solved it by adding an attribute to the <form> :

HTML:

<FORM id = "form1" action="/FormExampleHelper" method="post"  accept-charset="UTF-8">

Cool, thanks Ormente!
