I need to detect character encoding in HTTP responses. To do this I look at the headers, then if it's not set in the content-type header I have to peek at the response and look for a "<meta http-equiv='content-type'>" header. I'd like to be able to write a function that looks and works something like this: response = urllib2.urlopen("...
I would expect the output of getencoding in the following python session to be "ISO-8859-1": >>> import urllib2 >>> response = urllib2.urlopen("http://www.google.com/") >>> response.info().plist ['charset=ISO-8859-1'] >>> response.info().getencoding() '7bit' This is with python version 2.6 ('2.6 (r26:66714, Aug 17 2009, 16:01:07) \n[G...
Hi everyone, I thought I would find a solution to this problem relatively easily, but here I am calling upon the help from ye gods to pull me out of this conundrum. So, I've got an image and I want to store it in an XML document using Java. I have previously achieved this in VisualBasic by saving the image to a stream, converting the s...

I'm using Url.Encode within a view and it's replacing spaces with + so instead of: /production/cats-the-musical I'm getting .../cats+the+musical. I'm sure this is an easy one, but where do you go to configuring which characters are used for this? I'll be doing this: public static string EncodeForSEO(this UrlHelper helper, string unen...
Hi, I've read similar posts on this and they don't answer my question. In C#, I have a string that I'm obtaining from WebClient.DownloadString. I've tried setting client.Encoding to new UTF8Encoding(false), but that's made no difference - I still end up with a byte order mark for UTF-8 at the beginning of the result string. I need to re...
I am trying to generate javadocs in eclipse. The source files are UTF-8 encoded and contain some umlauts. The resulting html files do not specify an encoding and do not use html entities, so the umlauts aren't displayed correctly in any browser. What can I do to change this? ...

I am trying to create a file that is recognised as UTF-8 header("Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8"); header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=test.txt"); echo "test"; exit(); also tried header("Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8");...
I am trying to load in my data migration a member database. Quite a few of the names have special characters such as "Ciarán". I've set up a simple example like this: require 'rubygems' require 'fastercsv' FasterCSV.foreach("/Users/developer/Work/madmin/db/data/Members.csv") do |row| puts row.inspect end and I get the following: ...

I looked at tinyurl, tinypic, imgur and youtube! I thought they would use a text safe representation of a index and use it as a primary ID in their DB. However trying to put the keys into Convert.FromBase64String("key") yields no results and throw an exception. So these sites dont use a base64 array. What are they using? What might i wan...
I've got a video that's 30 minutes long. I want to make a speeded up version that's (say) 15 minutes long. I could do this by dropping every 2nd frame. How can I do this on linux? I'm playing with gstreamer and it looks cool. Is there a way to do this with gstreamer? What would be the gst-launch command line to do it? My source video i...
If I leave grails.views.default.code='none' in the grails Config.groovy, it's up to me to HTML encode my expressions explicitly in the GSP files: ${myValue?.encodeAsHTML()}. If I set grails.views.default.codec='html" in the Config.groovy, then the HTML encoding happens automatically for every expression: ${myValue}. My question: If I s...

What are the most reliable encodings for sending email? I had some problems recently with .NET's System.Net.Mail default of quoted-printable ('=0D=0A' scattered throughout the message). So I changed to iso-8859-1 for the body (set via alternative views), and 7bit for transfer (and base64 for embedded resources). Are there the better ch...
