We have a CMS which has several thousand text/html files in it. It turns out that users have been uploading text/html files using various character encodings (utf-8,utf-8 w BOM, windows 1252, iso-8859-1). When these files are read in and written to the response our CMS's framework forces a charset=UTF-8 on the response's content-type at...
I'm trying to use NSXmlParser to parse ISO-8859-1 data. Using Apple's own example for parsing ISO-8859-1, I have the following. // path to xml file NSString *xmlFilePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:sampleFileName ofType:@"xml"]; // string of xml contents NSString *xmlFileContents = [NSString stringWithContentsOfFile:xmlFil...
In my masterpage, I have the following in the header. This allows me to put special characters into my website. The problem is that when javascript tries to load (on the client) special characters, I get that weird box. Example url... http://89.184.149.229/Sandportal/vinnan/trol-lna/monica-sakk--vikuskiftinum Text is below the 4 st...
Hi guys, I'm working on a WebDAV implementation for PHP. In order to make it easier for Windows and other operating systems to work together, I need jump through some character encoding hoops. Windows uses ISO-8859-1 in it's HTTP request, while most other clients encode anything beyond ascii as UTF-8. My first approach was to ignore t...
Hello, I want to send The pound sign character i.e. '£' encoded as ISO-8859-1 across the wire. I perform this by doing the following: var _encoding = Encoding.GetEncoding("iso-8859-1"); var _requestContent = _encoding.GetBytes(requestContent); var _request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(target); _request.Headers[HttpRequestHeader...

I am being sent text files saved in iso88591-1 format that contain accented characters from the Latin-1 range (as well as normal ASCII a-z etc). How to convert these files to utf-8 using C# so that the single-byte accented characters in iso8859-1 become valid utf-8 characters? I have tried to use a StreamReader with ASCIIEncoding, and ...
Hello, Im working with jquery and ASP, and have an SQL database from which I get, using the function $.getJSON(), some descriptions in spanish with "acentos" and "tildes" (á, é, í, ó, ú, ñ, etc.). With Chrome 4 and FireFox is working fine. The problem is with IE8: with some particular query, it hangs without getting the result back. If ...
I have several documents I need to convert from ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8 (without the BOM of course). This is the issue though. I have so many of these documents (it is actually a mix of documents, some UTF-8 and some ISO-8859-1) that I need an automated way of converting them. Unfortunately I only have ActivePerl installed and don't know muc...
I'm creating a small, web based, mail client in PHP and noticed that a number of email Subjects and Contents appear as follows: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Everything_for_=A35_-_Box_Sets,_Games_?= =?ISO-8859-1?Q?and_CD_Soundtracks...hurry,_ends_soon?= =?utf-8?B?UGxheS5jb206IE9uZSBEYXkgT25seSDigJMgT3V0IG9mIHRoaXMgV29ybGQgRGVhbHMh?= =?windows-1252?Q?J...
I have a HTML-page, that's encoded in ISO-8859-1 and a Prototype-AJAX call that's build like this: new Ajax.Request('api.jsp', { method: 'get', parameters: {...}, onSuccess: function(transport) { var ajaxResponse = transport.responseJSON; alert(ajaxResponse.msg); } }); The api.jsp returns its data in IS...
Hello, I'm having problems decoding a file with "ISO-8859-1" encoding. For example, I can't decode "%E7" to "ç". Can you help me? P.S.: I'm using VB.NET Thanks, Pedro ...
I've a web application (well, in fact is just a servlet) which receives data from 3 different sources: Source A is a HTML document written in UTF-8, and sends the data via <form method="get">. Source B is written in ISO-8859-1, and sends the data via <form method="get">, too. Source C is written in ISO-8859-1, and sends the data via <a...
So I got a site that uses ISO-8859-1 encoding and I can't change that. I want to be sure that the content I enter into the web app on the site gets parsed correctly. The parser works on a character by character basis. I also cannot change the parser, I am just writing files for it to handle. The content in my file I am telling the ap...
Hi All, I'm be wild about some CZECH char. On DB I've saved strings with č (and similar chars) and I'm able to show this only if I set my page charset to ISO-8859-1. It could be ok, but I've an UTF-8 XML file and when I try to get some string from this xml I've some problem. Basically the string from XML will not be shown correctly if...
I've looked across the web, I've looked through SO, through PHP documentation and more. It seems like a ridiculous problem not to have a standard solution to. If you get an unknown character set, and it has strange characters (like english quotes), is there a standard way to convert them to UTF-8? I've seen many messy solutions using a...
Hi guys, What can I do to ensure that replication will use latin1 instead of utf-8? I'm migrating between an MySQL 5.1.22 server (master) on a Linux system and a MySQL 5.1.42 server (slave) on a FreeBSD system. My replication works well, but when non-ascii characters are in my varchars, they turn "weird". The Linux/MySQL-5.1.22 shows ...
Running the following (example) code import java.io.*; public class test { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { byte[] buf = {-27}; InputStream is = new ByteArrayInputStream(buf); BufferedReader r = new BufferedReader( new InputStreamReader(is, "ISO-8859-1")); Str...
Hi, i'm using jQuery for sending ajax requests to the server, but i have some problems with the charset. In the ajax function documentation is written that data is always sent in UTF-8 according to the W3C XMLHTTPRequest standard, so i don't think that jQuery allows you to change the request charset (except if you load a script, but that...
For our web app, we have multiple HTML pages containing text areas. All of our pages are rendered with an ISO-8859-1 charset. When the page is accessed through IE6 on a Windows machine and special characters such as a "smart quote" are copied in to the text area, some of our pages submit the page using the Windows 1252 character encodi...
