Re: [jetty-users] Submitting a cgi-bin POST form results in "Null charse

[Lachlan Roberts <lachlan@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

There is now a fix for this in the 9.4.x branch and will be in a 9.4.23 release.

For a workaround you should be able to use the RewriteHandler to default the charset to utf-8.

Make sure you secretly don't have any wacky nulls or whitespace characters
in that HTML form.
