If a servlet registered on the internal server attempts to set the response encoding to UTF-8, then the server prints a message to stdout ("Unsuported encoding: UTF-8"). The message is harmless. This happens every time a user requests a replay through the HTTP Monitor. The servlet which serves up the data of the old request to the server side component needs to set the encoding to UTF-8 in case the original request contains Japanese characters for example. setEncoding is used to set the HTTP Header (without which the receiving URLConnection will not parse the stream correctly), but the Tomcat server also tries to open the writer with the encoding (which is unnecessary anyway, all you need is a 16bit writer). I don't expect that it is worth fixing this bug since the server will presumably be upgraded soon anyway.
coming from jakarta-tomcat-3.2.3-src/src/share/org/apache/tomcat/core/ResponseImpl.java
This probably wont be fixed until we upgrade internal HTTP server
