Re: [Catalyst] ajax character encoding issue solved, but WHY?

The issue was that non-ascii chars were appearing as junk BUT only when retrieved via ajax calls. Otherwise, they displayed fine. The junk display was due to them being interpreted as ISO-8859-1, but I could not figure out why the browser was interpreting that way. All my data is handled as UTF-8. The problem was fixed by calling utf8::decode on the data prior to sending back via ajax. BUT WHY? I am using the JSON view to render ajax responses, and it sets the charset header correctly to UTF-8. Of course, even when you decode, perl still represents as internal utf8. But why should this be necessary? Thanks! What is the encoding of the web page that issues that ajax request? Does this occur on different browser as well? I had similar problems and solved it by making sure that every page has the utf8 encoding header set. IMHO using utf8::decode is a hack and should be avoided if possible. moritz ___ List: Catalyst@lists.scsys.co.uk Listinfo: http://lists.scsys.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/catalyst Searchable archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/catalyst@lists.scsys.co.uk/ Dev site: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/

But why should this be necessary? I had exactly the same problem and solution using Catalyst::Controller::REST with the JSON serializer. Still in my list of 'big mysteries to be solved'. I hadn't discovered Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode back then, I wonder if using it would help, haven't tried myself yet.
