[mapserver-users] Expression encoding must be in the same encoding than the data

[SAEZ Laurent - CETE Méditerr./DI/ETER]

Hi list,

Encoding in expression is not very simple...
I have :
   * mapserver 4.99,
   * a mapfile utf-8 encoded,
   * a mapinfo file create on windows (encoding cp1252),
   * one class using a field which contain this value : "Départementale".

If I write in the mapfile the following expression :
...
CLASS
NAME "Départementale"
EXPRESSION "Départementale"
...

This class is not in the raster returned by the WMS/GetMap request.
To obtain this class I have to encode the string expression in the same 
encoding than the data (mapinfo tab) :

CLASS
NAME "Départementale"
EXPRESSION "D?partementale"

So it's strange to encode a string in cp1252 (or iso-8859-1) in a file 
encoding in utf-8.

Is there a way to tell mapserver that my layer is cp1252 encoded ?

Thanks for help
