CharsetFilter

You can use this filter to convert the HTTP request query and body from one character set to another. If it is not possible to convert a body entirely, then the CharsetFilter tries to convert as much as possible, and replaces all non-convertible chars by a question mark ?.

The CharsetFilter only handles requests of the content type application/x-www-form-urlencoded.

The filter has the following trace group: BC.Tracer.DebugProfile.IW4CharSetFlt
