Description

[soki]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)

I have a XBL wich contain a simple textbox. From this XBL with utf-8 encoding, 
I use a js object declared outside the xbl (from a lib imported from xul file, 
xul file is in utf-8 too). This object send, by calling one method, a command 
to my server (all in utf-8, the http too). before to send the command, I write 
it to disk. The value of my text box is inserted in the command by the calling 
of the method, the value write to disk is incorrect (the same in my servlet), 
the encoding is wrong when I put accent like "[éàè]" in the textbox. I have 
modified the object in the lib, and I wrote directly accent "[éàè]" in the js 
file and add the textbox's value to this string. The command send is correctly 
formatted for the hard coded accent, I might there is an error between xbl and 
js association from xul document. I can get a right result when I convert the 
value of my textbox from Unicode to utf-8. The same problem exist in firefox 
1.0.

Please attach a testcase showing the problem... the description is too vague to
make sense of, unfortunately.
