Unless sax.driver is set, XmlRpc will default to the MinML sax driver. This driver silently ignores the encoding specification in the first line of the xml file, and the default character encoding does not seem to be utf-8.
If this driver is supposed to still be the default driver for XmlRpc, then I sugges that it should detect utf-8 usage and emit a warning to save developers from having to do a lot of debugging to figure out why their utf-8 based code does not work. Pythons xmlrpclib seems to default to utf-8. As far as I can see, the Xml-RPC spec does not specify any character set. Regards, Rune Fr�ysa
