We have some data coming from a database using latin1 encoding (which we
can¹t change). When we try to insert that data into a libxml doc the
scripts locks up so badly we have to kill the process manually. If we do a
conversion on the string (String#toutf8) it works. Setting the encoding of
the document does not help either.
Here is some code,
>> doc = LibXML::XML::Document.new
>> doc.root = LibXML::XML::Node.new("person")
>> doc.root << lname = LibXML::XML::Node.new('last_name')
>> lname << "Farrés"
There is no output from this, it just hangs. The key to remember is the
"Farrés" is latin1 encoded from MySQL. If it is UTF-8 the code will work.
The worst part is that it runs right on one server and does not run on
others. Could there be a library issue? This is also running under Rails
2.1 if that makes any difference.
Thanks.
