Well, I think I have found the problem, at least with CF 5: I added an alert in the JS to show the HTTP headers returned by my CF template. This template starts with:
<CFHEADER NAME="Content-type" VALUE="text/xml; charset=iso-8859-1"> <?xml version='1.0' encoding='iso-8859-1'?> With CF 6, the header are indeed: Server: Microsoft-IIS/5.1 Date: Sat, 30 Dec 2006 16:24:53 GMT X-Powered-By: ASP.NET Connection: close Content-Type: text/xml; charset=iso-8859-1 But under CF 5 I get: Server: Microsoft-IIS/5.1 Date: Sat, 30 Dec 2006 16:25:36 GMT X-Powered-By: ASP.NET Connection: close Content-type: text/html Page-Completion-Status: Normal Content-type: text/xml; charset=iso-8859-1 Page-Completion-Status: Normal Apparently, the default header "text/html" set by CF is not overridden by the one which declares the text to be iso-8859-1. Then the charset must be 7 bit by default, and the Latin character causes the problem. Then my question turns into this: Is it possible to turn off the default header in CF 5? -- _______________________________________ REUSE CODE!
