Hi, I'm using prototype 1.6.0.2.
My page is generated by a cgi-bin program (a dll) on a IIS server. It is encoded in "Windows-1252" charset. Users may both use Internet Explorer 6 or Mozilla Firefox browsers. The page uses the Ajax.Request object in order to send a request to the dll : new Ajax.Request( "http://myUpfrontserver/cognos/cgi-bin/ upfisapi.dll", { method: 'post', parameters: {xmlcmd: "<DescribeNewsBox><ID>123443435454534</ID></ DescribeNewsBox>"}, encoding: ''Windows-1252', contentType: "application/x-www-form-urlencoded", onSuccess: function(transport) { /* My treatment on transport.responseXML or transport.responseText */ } }); The server returns an xml message supposed to be encoded in "Windows-1252" charset. But it seems the transport response is interpreted as encoded in UTF-8 charset... Actually, some accented character and their related characters appear with a ? i.e; : aï" > becomes a?> (this is the U+FFFD character, which appears in a dark square on Firefox, and as ? on IE6) If I directly use the XMLHttpRequest object, I do not have this kind of problem on Firefox (the problem persists with IE6) : the responseText content is well detected in Windows-1252 charset. Do you know if the Ajax objects enforces the response to be detected as encoded in UTF-8? Is there any way to change this? I tried to analyze the prototype script in order to find where, in the Ajax class, the responseText could be encoded in UTF-8 but I could not find it... Anyway, I found that as the load was not completed, my responseText was correctly interpreted (accented characters appear correctly), and it is only at the end of the load when the status is complete, that the U+FFFD Unicode characters appear. Moreover, with IE6, I meet this problem by using both Ajax.Request or XMLHttpRequest... Is there a way to enforce encoding of the XMLHttpRequest response ?
