Encoding in site url not working

AlexPlas · 2007-03-06, 10:34

Hello

Now I am trying to create WebEPG grabber files for Ukrainian TV channels.
I have found few sites where character encoding is not defined in HTML code. For such sites WebEPG use some default encoding seems like ASCII or ISO-8859-1. I was tryed to use

Code:

<Site url="" post="" external="" encoding="windows-1251" />

but without any effect. Then I was checked the WebEPG sources and found no encoding handling at all.

I have enough knowledge to implement such handling, but sources structure is not too clean. Can someone point me where encoding handling have to be implemented?

Hi AlexPlas,

I found the problem and have updated the SVN, the forced encoding was not being copied with the HTTPRequest object.

If you are still interested, the Encoding support is handled in HTMLPage.cs (MediaPortal.Utils.Web) in the Utils.dll.

Cheers,

/James
