incorrect encoding on windows7 when login interactively

[boyang9527]

• Command
  cf login
• What occurred, incl. error and/or stack trace
  when I use

        cf auth é x

I see the correct %C3%A9 encoding

when I use

        cf login -u é

I also see the correct %C3%A9 encoding

But when I login interactive:

        cf login
        ...
        Email> é

I get the wrong %E2%80%9A

@boyang9527
It seems this is a Golang issue, fixed in 1.8.
Current cf CLI (6.22.1) is built using the latest stable 1.7.1.
Let's revisit when we've moved to Golang 1.8 once it's out.

Thanks Dies!
yes I have seen the comments in Pivotal tracker.
I saw Go 1.8 released is scheduled in Feb 2017. So looks like it can only be fixed almost half a year later...

Anyway I am going to close this issue

@boyang9527 You may want to look into whether there is a way to propose to the Golang devs to backport this to a Golang 1.7.x to get it sooner? (I don't know Golang's release schedule or process)

I don't know the Golang release schedule either... while it is worth to try

thanks Dies!
