File Upload Does Not Handle Special Characters
----------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBPORTAL-1601
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBPORTAL-1601
             Project: JBoss Portal
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: Portal CMS
    Affects Versions: 2.6 Final, 2.4.1 SP1
         Environment: RHEL 5
Firefox 1.5.0.12
            Reporter: Mike Millson
         Assigned To: Sohil Shah
         Attachments: cedilla.png

When uploading a file, special characters like the French cedilla are not displayed properly in the title and description fields. See attached screen shot of how a cedilla appears.

Is this a bug in Commons FileUpload? Perhaps it is not able to handle multipart requests where the encoding is not specified for each form field (something a browser cannot do)? This is the solution someone using httpclient did here:
http://www.nabble.com/-httpclient--multipart-form-data-post-character-encoding-of-string-parts-tf18725.html#a50487

This issue does not happen when creating a file using the CMS editor. It only happens with the multipart form.
