Why is EAP 7 / Undertow using UTF-8 for its default URI encoding?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • We see Undertow in EAP 7 now uses a UTF-8 URI encoding by default. JBossWeb in EAP 6 previously used 'ISO-8859-1and the servlet spec suggests 'ISO-8859-1 should be used for encoding by default. So why this change moving to Undertow?

Environment

  • JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) 7.x
