Package: tomcat6
Version: 6.0.24-3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
The default character encoding of tomcat currently is ISO-8859-1, if
nothing is specified in the request header[1].
I proposed on debian-devel[2] that any application in Debian should
assume utf-8 to be the default.
Please change the server.xml to specify utf-8 as the default:
