Enabling UTF-8 Characters for the Shinydrive Web Client

Problem

An international customer might have issues with special characters breaking the web interface.

Solution

Ensure that Tomcat is setup to accept UTF-8 encoding.

Editing server.xml

1. Locate server.xml in \{tomcat home} -> conf

2. Edit the connector for port 8080 to look like this

    <Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
   	connectionTimeout="20000"
       redirectPort="8443" URIEncoding="UTF-8"/>
