Re: [AOLSERVER] Working with Chinese characters in Tcl/AOLserver

2007-09-06 Thread Janine Sisk
I think I will just go with moving the thing to Tomcat;  it looks  
like that's going to be easier than rewriting the mapping process in  
Tcl.


Thanks for the input, everyone!

There are several steps, but processing is char-by-char. You have  
to know how
to read a char. With UTF-16, this is easy. UTF-8 is harder to read.  
Once you
have a char, you need a method to map it to the new character set.   
Handling

errors is another story.

Also, if you are reading a channel, you can fconfigure as binary.  
If you don't
do this, then Tcl will probably convert it to UTF-8. Use your char  
reader on

a binary channel unless Tcl can do the conversion all by itself.

Don't expect too much, I have yet to find a browser which reads  
UTF-8 100%

correct.

Sure.  I'm glad somebody decided to pick it up; I've not run OpenACS is some 
time now, and really didn't have the need or time to further maintain the 
PostgreSQL driver.
