Amazingly to me you are absolutely right... This has been puzzling me for many months and the solution was right there.
Simple things are the best. What happens if we would like to send Unicode messages. I have been trying to send Unicode but with no luck. I am using again xml post and I am sending for α β γ %03%B1%00%20%03%B2%00%20%03%B3 coded as Unicode and setting coding=2 (UCS2) I have tried many different combinations but either kannel will not send at alla and some other times I will receive an empty message. In my logs I see the following 2007-08-07 01:53:46 [6586] [3] ERROR: Failed to convert string from <UTF-8> to <UTF-16BE>, errno was <84> (is there a list with all error codes and their meaning) Finally, if I want to set charset to xml post, how do I do it I have tried <charset>utf-8</charset>, is that correct? Thanx everyone for your help Best regards Dinos -----Original Message----- From: Alexander Malysh [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 03, 2007 4:32 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: CANT SEND GREEK CHARACTERS Hi, I wonder why you need patching kannel if you use CVS? Kannel CVS version uses UTF-8 as default charset. And if you need to send greek chars you just should either use UTF-8 or define charset cgi variable in your request. e.g. to send ?
