Heroku: GET data is not retrieved as UTF-8

I'm currently building a website I'm hosting on Heroku. While I love the hosting, I can't seem to get GET data to be UTF-8. When I run it locally, it works fine, but pushed to the Heroku servers it won't work.

The app is an Java Web application, all jsp pages are UTF-8 encoded, and I have a filter on all pages where the requestEncoding is UTF-8 as well. In the servlet, before I read the data, I put the encoding as request.setCharacterEncoding("UTF-8");

I'm running out of ideas, is there a simple thing I'm overlooking?

Cheers

The support team of Heroku could answer my problem. If you are experiencing the same problem, this is the solution.

If you are using the latest version of webapp-runner (7.0.57.2), you can add the option --uri-encoding in your Procfile.

java ... -jar target/dependency/webapp-runner.jar --port $PORT --uri-encoding UTF-8 --expand-war target/*.war`
