Hi, 

Not sure if the right place to post....

Slimserver 6.5.1 on Ubuntu 6.06. Accessing command line from a Vista PC
(telnet 192.168.1.150 9090)

I have a track called "7. Tráthnóna Beag Aréir" by Clannad. When I look
at the track on the slimserver interface (IE7) it appears correctly.
When I paste that same trackname from IE7 into a hex editor I get:

7. Tráthnóna Beag Aréir
37 2E 20 54 72 E1 74 68 6E F3 6E 61 20 42 65 61 67 20 41 72 E9 72

The interesting charaters (for me) here are:
á E1
ó F3
é E9


When I access the CLI and enter "title ?" I get:

00%3A04%3A20%3A06%3A1c%3A47 title
Tr%C3%A1thn%C3%B3na%20Beag%20Ar%C3%A9ir

The spaces have been converted to %20, which I would expect. However if
we take the same three characters from earlier we get:

á %C3%A1
ó %C3%B3
é %C3%A9

Could somebody help me to understand what is being returned? According
to the CLI documentation the strings are returned as UTF-8, and the
encoding on the IE7 webapge is also UTF-8. So, why two characters
instead of one, and is there a direct conversion between them? Why does
the CLI return %C3%A1 when it should probably return just E1 (or %E1) ?

Many thanks!


Jim

PS For info, I'm querying the CLI via a C++ program (Unicode), but the
DOS command line returns the same.
