Hi, >>> servers usually announce the character set they answer with.. do you check >>> the response headers? >>> there is a nifty firefox plugin called "live http headers" btw. >>> Not sure if the character set I need is in the http response header or >>> in the xml declaration. >>> I would have say in the xml, but I haven't search for it yet. >> hmm. should be at least in the header. how are you supposed to know how to >> interpret the bytestream if you do not know the encoding ;) >> if you sent me a problematic url.. i'll tell you what the header says. In the adress given by Uwe, for example, last layer name is not parsed correctly, but I could not find a way to get a valid answer in the browser if I pass Uwe's url + "SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetCapabilities" > Situation with WMS servers is unfortunately not very good and they do not all > behave in a similar way. Right now I could check only Mapserver 6.0 with the > Finnish default Windows settings. Headers say > Content-Type: text/xml (WMS 1.3.0) or > Content-Type: application/vnd.ogc.wms_xml (WMS 1.1.1). > > For both versions the XML document starts as > <?xml version='1.0' encoding="ISO-8859-1" In this case, I suppose that parsing the xml document as ISO-8859-1 should do the trick. have to check if DOMParser can be configured to be encoding aware.
