The fun continues.... Thus far nothing works. I first ran into this only with
3.x but now is happening with all version of 2.x. It is not happening on my
servers just on desktop applications.

I tried the various combos, where you see spaces below, NONE UTF8 ASCII...
That means I did each combo, with -Dfile.encoding, and without. All produced
each error.

This combo produced this, pretty sure same for ISO-8859-1 and ISO8859-1

-Dfile.encoding=ISO8859_1
url?lc_type=ISO8859_1
