Character encodings then uploading files via web to Windows Servers

We found an issue with web uploads and files including special characters, e.g. German umlauts and other language-specific characters, on Windows-based operating systems. On those systems the files aren't stored in UTF-8 after the upload. Client data transfers are not affected by this problem. While we fixed it on new installations, existing customers have to edit the wrapper.conf file in the installation directory and add the following parameter right after the wrapper.java.additional.5 parameter:

Code Block
wrapper.java.additional.6=-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8

If the wrapper.java.additional.6 parameter already exists, please choose the next free number. In general, please adjust the number so it follows the number before.

(tick) Restart the service to apply the changes.
