[Note: I can only reproduce this issue with a Win2k web server running IIS 5.0. I can't reproduce this issue with a Windows XP web server (localhost) running IIS 5.1.]
I've uncovered a lot of information pertinent to UTF-8 encoding.
If I've learned one thing, it's this.
EDIT: MSDN offered that for IIS 5.0 and earlier, Response.CodePage is not available. At this time, I cannot verify that this is the root of my problem.
With all of that being said, here's my question:
Does IIS 5.0 Require Unique Configuration Settings To Support UTF-8?
Reason I ask: In spite of my best efforts to heed all of the advice from Google and SO, I still can't get UTF-8 characters to post to the server correctly.
Here's my scenario:
- Render UTF-8 encoded unicode strings to the screen. [Works fine, verified by visual inspection.]
- With javascript, store these UTF-8 encoded unicode strings in form variables. [Works fine, verified with Firebug.]
- Post to the same web page. [Special characters get corrupted on the server after the page has been posted.]
