           Summary: multibyte data getting corrupted with HTTP POST - when
                    used JMeter 2.3.4
           Product: JMeter
           Version: 2.3.4
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: blocker
          Priority: P2
         Component: HTTP

Created an attachment (id=24689)
 --> (https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=24689)
contains 2 png image files showing the execution with jmeter 2.3.4 and 2.3RC4 

I had initially created a testplan using JMeter 2.3RC4  - because this was
available as latest when i started using Jmeter for my work. All things were
working absolutely fine on this.

About 2 days back i wanted to pick the latest available version of Jmeter and
start using it . Hence i downloaded 2.3.4 official release version.  

so, opened my existing jmx testplan file using 2.3.4  & executed/run the
testcase.


PROBLEM:
the multibyte data for the HTTP POST requests are getting garbled.
i.e
> if i run the same using 2.3RC4 - everything works fine - multibyte data is handled correctly.
> if i open same jmx file using 2.3.4  & run it  - multibyte data becomes garbled .


ATTACHMENTS: 
I have attached screen shots(two .png images are zipped): shows same testcase
run on 2.3RC4 and 2.3.4 . If you notice in that pictures -  on 2.3RC4 the
result is fine and multibyte data is also correct.  on 2.3.4 , the multibyte
data is corrupted.



DETAILS:

The HTTP Request was created as follows :

>  Test Plan->Add->Thread Group. Entered the name and other fields.
>  Again Right Clicked on ThreadGroup->Add->Sampler->HTTP Request.
>  there i choose METHOD = POST .  [in some tests we need multi-part , in some
>  we need only POST]
>  Entered the name of the request and the Path/command . Typed UTF-8 in Content
>  Encoding textbox.
>  This is how that HTTP POST request is filled up.
>

Also in jmeter.properties file  :  i have given :
sampleresult.default.encoding  = UTF-8


When i run the testcases , the response assertion checks for a particular
multibyte content in the http response received.  It fails because , i can see
the HTTP Response  under View result tree  - which has been garbled.

The same testcase when run using 2.3RC4 works absolutely fine and testcase
passes. There is absolutely no change b/w the way i run in 2.3.RC4 & 2.3.4 .  
With 2.3.4 it fails because multibyte content is getting corrupted.


NOTE:
The HTTP GET request handles the multibyte data correctly .The garbling issue
is noticed only when i have HTTP POST.


Additional observation :
(in case if its relevant)
On 2.3.4 ,  After running the testcase . go to  View Result Tree , there is a
node called "Sample Result". Under this the following entries are noticed for
POST request:

   HTTPSampleResult fields:
   DataEncoding: ISO-8859-1

Now. If i change the HTTP request method to GET , the above is seen as follows:

   HTTPSampleResult fields:
   DataEncoding: utf-8


So - what is impacting this i do not know.  



ISSUE MARKED AS BLOCKER :
The issue iam raising as blocker because , all HTTP POST request's multibyte
content is getting garbled if i use 2.3.4 .  Basically i cannot use 2.3.4 for
running my tests having HTTP POST.

As workaround :  
iam just using the previous version that we had picked - 2.3RC4 itself. With
2.3.RC4 everything works absolutely fine.


Kindly fix the problem for 2.3.4.
