Hi everyone,
I'm getting wrong characters (german umlauts) when I send a
GetFeatureInfo-Request.
It looks like Mapserver treats the data as encoded in UTF-8.
Example (plain text):
------------------------
GetFeatureInfo results:
Layer 'Test'
Feature 158:
NAME = 'Ehrenbürg und Katzenköpfe'
------------------------
The attribut content should be: 'Ehrenbürg und Katzenköpfe'
I assume (that's what the Capabilities-document tells me) that Mapserver's
default charset is ISO-8859-1.
System:
- Debian Etch(iso-8859-1)
- Apache2 (iso-8859-1)
- Mapserver 5.4.1 (?)
- Oracle 10.2 (GERMAN_GERMANY.WE8MSWIN1252)
- NLS_LANG=GERMAN_GERMANY.WE8MSWIN1252
- ArcSDE 9.2
Is Mapserver aware of the oracle system variable NLS_LANG when connecting to
ArcSDE? When I connect through SQLPlus to the database, there is no charset
problem, because SQLPlus depends on NLS_LANG.
Changing the NLS_LANG variable didn't change the result of GetFeatureInfo in my
tests.
I read about the thread of Russel McOrmond
(http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg05435.html) and
hoped that the Charset issue would be solved in 5.4. But I'm still stuck with
this problem.
It seems that this is not an ArcSDE-problem. I queried a Shapefile (exported
from ArcSDE though) with a GetFeatureInfo-Request with the same (wrong) results.
Thanks for any suggestions!
Johannes
