Thank you! The problem is that in my code I was using the encoding convertfrom utf-8 in many places and since I'm in the process of upgrading my system to the new version of NaviSever I will need to maintain two versions of the code.
One for the old server and one for the new server. It is not trivial as it sounds as the development cycle of my product is running in parallel in both versions. Is there any way to keep it as it was? So encoding convertfrom utf-8 will work like in the past? even if there is a security bridge?
