Coding

By default, the coding of the query interface Web application is set to UTF-8. To use a different coding, enter the name of the coding you want to use in the encoding URL parameter, e.g., encoding=ISO-8859-1.

There are various options for the URL coding on the client side.

Within Java programs, you can use the encode method (parameter value, encoding) from the URLEncoder class, and within JavaScript you can use the standard encodeURlComponent(parameter value) method.
