Problem summary

    * USERS AFFECTED:  All users who use URLs with double byte     *
    *                  character set (DBCS) characters in them to  *
    *                  access applications on an IBM WebSphere     *

    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Errors accessing an application         *
    *                      using DBCS characters in the URL on a   *
    *                      Liberty profile server.                 *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    URLs with DBCS characters were not encoded correctly by
    the Liberty server WebContainer code.  Therefore when trying
    to access an application on a Liberty profile server using DBCS
    characters in the URL the application would appear
    inaccessable or would not run correctly.
    If the URL coming into the Liberty profile server, and seen in
    the Liberty profile WebContainer traces, contains what appear
    to be invalid single byte encoded characters, and the
    application is either not found, or gives back bad results
    (due to DBCS query parameters being incorrect), then this
    problem may be occurring.
