I did not have time yet to dig into TCLHTTP_USE_EXTERNALTOUTF the other test cases depending on that. My gut feeling says "this is necessary", but my brain says "why this was no problem so far" and "what will be the collateral damage"  if we do so.

The flag TCLHTTP_USE_EXTERNALTOUTF is still in the code but needs further investigation. However, i am going mid of next week on holiday (boat), where i will not be reachable ... until then many things are piled up on my side, so i have no chance to look into this deeper right now.

My plan would be as follows: Prepare a release for the near future (i'll be at 10 days offline, maybe i can work on change summary etc.). For this release, leave the TCLHTTP_USE_EXTERNALTOUTF for the time being in the code (deactivated by default), and address the encoding issue in detail after that.

Users depending on releases will get a long list of new features with 4.99.20 and they will not be afraid of changed encodings etc. Other users with complex encoding/recoding requirements can use the new "-binary" flag of ns_http.

all the best
