Small update to this thread, for the benefit of anyone in the future who
might have issues with it and finds this in a google search.
My users noticed this morning that £ symbols were being converted to �
I'm not entirely sure what caused it but guessed correctly that it was
something to do with the encoding, probably on my Windows 2008 server
and/or IIS 7. The solution was to update the code I used to read and write
the feeds thusly:
<cfhttp url="#getFeeds.feedurl#" charset="utf-8">
<cfset xml = cfhttp.fileContent>
<cfset xml = rereplace(xml, "<!-- .*? -->", "")>
<cfset fileWrite("ram://feed#feedID#.xml", xml, "utf-8")>
with the "utf-8" hardcoded in the cfhttp and fileWrite() code I'm now
seeing my £ symbols again.
I haven't tested this exhaustively but so far it seems to work nicely.
