OK, Mark, I've made my initial edits to the
https://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/FAQ/CharacterEncoding page. _Please check
them over!_ This is my first edit to the wiki.
That page has a lot of legacy information, some of which had to do with
internal Tomcat stuff, and some of which had to do with minute details
of obsolete RFCs and evolution of browser behavior. I didn't want to
spend the entire day (week?) on this, so I tried to surgically to only
address the sections relating to POST of
application/x-www-form-urlencoded and how percent-encoded octets are
interpreted. I couldn't resist updating the specification links and
changing just a little prose about URL percent encoding.
There is the risk now that other sections of the page are still outdated
and conflict with my changes, but most importantly the FAQ should
provide more complete information on how Tomcat web applications can be
made to work with modern browsers.
Please let me know if I bungled anything or if I need to clarify something.
Thanks for letting me participate.

Anything in PascalCase becomes a link to a wiki page of that name.
Usernames are created in this form so references to the user
automatically become links to that user's page in the wiki.
Ah, OK, that explains it. Very good to know. Maybe a little semantic
overloading, but as this is my first wiki account anywhere, I'm guessing
it's typical with whatever software you're using.
Anyway my account is created, with username `GarretWilson`. After I get
permissions I'll update the info on octet encoding for
application/x-www-form-urlencoded in relation to the servlet spec. It
may not be immediately, but I'll slowly but surely get to it.
Karma granted. Happy editing.
Cheers,
Mark
