Any chance you can point me to the original file ?
The file is indeed in Latin1 encoded, but GitHub serves it as UTF-8 (it did not
change the contents, but the meta data).
The default encoder option only works when the server says nothing, it does not
override what the server says.
The only way to read it, is by reading it binary (which basically ignores the
meta data) and then convert it manually:
(ZnCharacterEncoder latin1 decodeBytes:
(ZnClient new
beBinary;
get:
'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SquareBracketAssociates/LearningOOPWithPharo/master/resources/listeDeMotsFrancaisFrGut.txt'))
lines.
But this is very ugly.
Best convert the original file to UTF-8 before uploading to GitHub.
