Problem with UTF-8 strings/content sending by POST

louise

Alfresco version: (Community Network): Current version 2.9.0 (B 683) schema 116

I've a big problem - just below - while trying to store content after editing on custom editor, and sending by HTTP POST into a custom webscript. Looks like the webservice always recoding UTF-8 characters to UTF-8.

As a difference between community edition 2.1 and 2.9B; this 'bug?' presents in 2.1 in GET and POST, but only in POST on version 2.9B…

Is there a workaround to fix this issue, or i need to wait for next Alfresco release?

Shell script to test answering on service:

#!/bin/sh

PROTOCOL="http"
USERPASS="admin:admin"
HOST="127.0.0.1:8080"

# get
htdump "${PROTOCOL}://${USERPASS}@${HOST}/alfresco/service/eu/tenderworks/formtest?formdata=ékezetesókősségík"

# post
htdump -post="formdata=ékezetesókősségík" "${PROTOCOL}://${USERPASS}@${HOST}/alfresco/service/eu/tenderworks/formtest"

Answer by GET:

Answer by POST:

Fixed by a base64 encoder/decoder (encode content before POST, and decode in webscript): http://www.webtoolkit.info/javascript-base64.html

Same effect with 3.0 Labs too…

Hello LouiSe,

I have exactlly the same problem and as you I'm using base64 encoding. But when script decodes message and saves it to the file message becomes corrupted like "Ã©kezetesÃ³kÅssÃ©gÃk". So could you pls write a sample web script, where content is decoded from base64 string?

Thank you.

Example part of my webscript:

for each (field in formdata.fields) {
  if(field.name == 'parent') {
    var parent = field.value;
  } else if (field.name == 'updatenoderef') {
    var updatenoderef = field.value;
  } else if (field.name == 'file' && field.isFile) {
    var filename = field.filename;
    var content = field.content;
  }
}

var contentData = Base64.decode(content);

var newContent = parentNode.childByNamePath(name);
if (newContent == null && parentNode.hasPermission("CreateChildren")) {
  newContent = parentNode.createFile(name);
}
            
newContent.properties.content.write(contentData);
newContent.properties.content.encoding = "UTF-8";

if (args.title != undefined) {
  newContent.properties.title = Utf8.decode(args.title);
}
            
if (args.description != undefined) {
  newContent.properties.description = Utf8.decode(args.description);
}
            
newContent.save();

Thanks for the sample script, but it seems that write method and encoding property is not supported in version 2.2, so instead of

newContent.properties.content.write(contentData);
newContent.properties.content.encoding = "UTF-8";‍‍

I just wrote

newContent.properties.content.content = contentData‍

, but it didn't help :x

Moreover if I just skip the encoding/decoding procedure and write content directly, like newContent.properties.content.content = "ékezetesókősségík", behaviour will be the same.

Just follow this thread: http://forums.alfresco.com/en/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=10286

It doesn't help either.
