Hi,

I guess the question are mainly for Paul.

I have encoding problems using invoke to test web services. My main
concerns are that:
- invoke contentFile's content is read with system default encoding
- Content-type header is set to charset ISO-8859-1
- WebRequestSettings' charset is not set

This configuration doesn't work for me (with UTF-8 as system and
contentFile encoding) and I'd like to change it like this to use system
default file encoding (as I don't see any simple access to the encoding
of the ant build file being executed).

My SOAP knowledge are quite limited. Do you see any drawbacks of such a
change?

Yes, the hard-coded ISO-8859-1 is a hangover from when I contributed to a
PostSOAP example to httpclient - a couple of lines are similar. :-)

Checking some ant source:
main/org/apache/tools/ant/taskdefs/email/MimeMailer.java
main/org/apache/tools/ant/taskdefs/optional/i18n/Translate.java

Both seem to use: System.getProperty("file.encoding")
So that is probably what we want. Though it may pay to re-purpose an
optional <header> entry to allow it to be overridden manually, e.g.:

   <invoke method="POST" contentFile=...>
       <header name="Content-type" value="text/xml; charset=ISO-8859-1"/>
   </invoke>

I am doing a bit of web service work, so can try out any changes to make
sure existing systems don't break.

Paul.
