I've been using the Microsoft.XMLHTTP object in ASP to grab HTML from a spanish language site, and it works perfectly well on most all the pages but one. (I am specifcally referring the Foreign Language Characters - PANAMÁ / Telefónica... etc.)
One page returns "?"s where there should be Foreign Language Characters like "Á".
I have a feeling it might be the way the site coded those chars on that particular page. i'll try to explain my thoughts but it's only a guess.
When I look at the raw html from the view source in IE, the pages that Microsoft.XMLHTTP renders PROPERLY have the chars coded like so "PANAMÁ"
When I look at the offending page's raw html from the view source in IE it looks like this "PANAMÁ".
Then,
When I dump the Microsoft.XMLHTTP html output of the proper pages, i get "PANAMÁ" this is perfect!
When I dump the Microsoft.XMLHTTP html output of the bad page, i get "PANAM?" this is not :(, where & why the heck ? ?
Is that a clue?
also, I have tried all these - but I'm just shoot'n in the dark
oHTTP.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "text/html"
oHTTP.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=EUC-KR"
oHTTP.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "text/html; charset=windows-1252"
oHTTP.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
oHTTP.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"
- I have no solution to this - i'm stuck - help - anybody?
