Change ESAPI to consistently use UTF-8 encoding #51

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
In handling byte[] <--> String conversion, there are many places where
ESAPI is simply defaulting to use native byte encoding. Unfortunately, as
different OS platforms have different encoding mechanisms this hinders
portability across platforms.

This issue is to make all such conversions consist to use UTF-8 encoding.
Without this unexpected problems can arise, especially when in dealing with
encryption or serialized Java objects.
