Hello list,
I have some problem with my Mapserver WFS server. In the mapfile there
is a MapInfo tab that has special characters like ú and ç. MapInfo tabs
are encoded in WindowsLatin1.
I have set wfs_encoding is UTF-8 in the Map section of the Map File and
encoding = ISO-8859-1 for the MapInfo tab.
the GML output says <xml encoding=utf-8> like it should, but the
attributes returned for this particular MapInfo table are meshed up
because the special characters are not outputted correct.
Is there a check in MapServer WFS that tries to match the tables
encoding with the required GML encoding and converts characters where
needed?
Milo,
I'm not too sure whether MapServer tries to do character encoding changes.
I gather it may in some circumstances. But OGR does not currently have
any concept of the character set of a datasource. So OGR is certainly not
able to indicate to mapserver what the input encoding is which I would guess
means that no correct transliteration can be done.
Best regards,
