Thanks for your help but the problem seems to be related to the charset used by the app before or during the encoding of the post vars.
The class URLVariables normally does the encoding to standard post variables for me so that non-asci characters are transformed that way : http://www.degraeve.com/reference/urlencoding.php Here is a snippet of my problem: var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables(); variables.var1 = "omé"; trace(variables.toString); the trace output is var1=om%C3%A9 instead of var1=om%E9 Any idea ? Do you know how to force UTF-8 charset for an adobe air app ? 2013/8/29 Alex Harui <aha...@adobe.com> > I think that is two different issues.
