</span>If you found the code doing it, then I guess it should be evident whether that conversion is happening conditionally based on any settings or not, but if not, I don't know why people have claimed the connector encoding changes things.<br>

</span>You found what seems to be a community-offered workaround for doing a conversion of the data back into UTF-8, and so obviously the thing to do is to try it. You seemed to be unsure whether that trick would work, but since the trick is about doing something to a String, it doesn't depend on where the String came from. getHeader, getAttribute, doesn't matter. Same difference. If the data is encoded in ISO-whatever, the trick will work.<br>
