If "Whatever the JSON encoder we use does" means that one day, the daemon starts sending UTF-8 encoded characters, it is quite possible that existing clients will break because of previously unnoticed encoding bugs. So I would like to see some formal documentation of the protocol.
It's 2013. If something still doesn't support receiving UTF-8 data and sending it back without corrupting the text, it should be chucked out of the window like now. And I don't mean things like properly determining the length of a string etc., as these are not UTF-8 specific, and *are* hard to get right; I mean not breaking binary data. -- Matma Rex _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
