I'm using jmeter 1.9.1 on windows 2000 and sun jvm 1.3.1.

I set up a simple test to hit a test page (no processing - just an http sampler). The 
home page has a extended ascii character (™) - tm. JMeter appears to simply stop 
reading the response when it reaches the extended character. For example: 

Here's the xsl code:
<p>Welcome to <b>ACS for the Java&#153; Platform</b>!  The home of the ACS community 
is at <a href="http://developer.arsdigita.com/acs-java/"; title="ACS 
DeveloperCommunity">http://developer.arsdigita.com/acs-java/</a>.  Should you ever get 
stuck, or if you just want to hang out with other ACS users, visit the <a 
href="http://developer.arsdigita.com/acs-java/bboard/"; title="ArsDigita Discussion 
Forums">discussion forums</a>.  If you find bugs or have feature requests, post them 
to the "Java Novices" forum. </p>

Here's a snip of the html response as shown via mozilla's page source:
<p>Welcome to <b>ACS for the Java* Platform</b>!  The home of the ACS community is at 
<a title="ACS Developer Community" 
href="http://developer.arsdigita.com/acs-java/";>http://developer.arsdigita.com/acs-java/</a>.

Here's the written file via the simple data writer:
&lt;p&gt;Welcome to &lt;b&gt;ACS for the Java</binary></sampleResult>

If I remove the extended ascii character it works fine.
&lt;p&gt;Welcome to &lt;b&gt;ACS for the Java Platform&lt;/b&gt;!  The home of the ACS

&lt;/p&gt;

I quickly tested the � character (&#174) and it worked fine, in fact it seems to get 
translated to &reg; by the server (at least viewing the page source from mozilla shows 
this).

I can easily change my code in this circumstance, and I guess grep through my pages to 
see if it exists anywhere else. However, are there other known characters that will 
mess JMeter up?

Thanks,
Bob
