Dancing About Architecture: Microfeed for "Character Encoding in the Trenches" http://www.burningdoor.com/eric/archives/000398.html Comments and trackbacks for the entry "Character Encoding in the Trenches" en-us eric@burningdoor.com eric@burningdoor.com Fri, 13 Feb 2004 14:54:48 CDT RSS Movable Type v3.14 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss Character Encoding in the Trenches http://www.burningdoor.com/eric/archives/000398.html Good timing for this discussion -- I've been struggling with the right way to do character encoding just recently. The interaction between the HTTP Content-Type header and the encoding attribute of the XML declaration (and even the machine's default locale!) creates a confusing environment. Wouldn't it be nice if there was no ambiguity and the HTTP charset parameter always matched the encoding of the XML feed? Stay tuned ... (evil grin!)
