Strange characters – despite everything being UTF-8

Ideal Solution The ideal solution would be to go back through your content, and replace all single/double quotes using the keyboard. However, if you’re working with massive copy/pastes, … Read more

< and > are encoded as +ADw- and +AD4- in UTF-7. Now imagine the following: Someone sends +ADw-script+AD4-alert(+ACI-Hello+ACI-)+ADw-/script+AD4- as comment text. It will pass all sanitation unescaped. The database expects and treats all incoming data as UTF-8. Since all UTF-7 streams are valid UTF-8 too, this will never result in a SQL error, and mysql_real_escape … Read more

Byte and char conversion in Java

A character in Java is a Unicode code-unit which is treated as an unsigned number. So if you perform c = (char)b the value you get is 2^16 – 56 or 65536 – 56. Or more precisely, the byte is first converted to a signed integer with the value 0xFFFFFFC8 using sign extension in a widening conversion. This in turn is … Read more

URL Encoding Issue %3D instead of (=)

Do you mean that you want the submitted form data to look like this: In either the URL query string, or in the POST body of an application/x-www-webform-urlencoded request? If so, then no, you cannot do that. That is a violation of both the URL and application/x-www-webform-urlencoded specifications. = is a reserved separator character that cannot appear unencoded in the name and value fields, it … Read more
