I think there is no way. I've made some experiments with a hex editor
to be sure.
Simple script with $.ajax via post.
data: "test=à"
manually typed in a non UTF-8 script file
Server side script:
if(isset($_POST['test'])){
$test=utf8_decode($_POST['test']) . ' - ' . $_POST['test'];
writelog($test);
}
Everywhere full of iso-8859-1:
header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1');
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/
html;charset=iso-8859-1" />
When jQuery post the data to the server script, is write down:
E0 (right char) 20 (space) 2D (-) 20 (space) C3 A0 (strange kind of A)
So at the moment I find nothing else to do other than using utf8_decode
()
I've also try
dataType: "jsonp",
scriptCharset: "iso-8859-1",
with zero results.
