[OpenLayers-Users] Ajax.Request and charset problem

[Arnd Wippermann]

Hello list,

I have problems to get the right response with Ajax.

This is a line, i get from Mapserver with the GetFeatureInfo-Request:
LINES|289|Böhler Weg - Obere Böhle|2|TREPPE|87|6|7|SG07_Böhler...

With firebug I can see, that the content-type is text/html and the charset
ISO-8859-1.

I want to use Ajax to fetch the GetFeatureInfo-Request, parse the line,
build some html and put it in the web side.

When I try to get the result with an Ajax.Request call, i get ? instead of
ö.

This is the request, I use:

var myAjax = new OpenLayers.Ajax.Request(
	theUrl,
	{
		method: 'get',
		parameters: theParams,
            requestHeaders: ['Content-Type', 'text/html', 'charset',
'ISO-8859-1'],
		onComplete: showResponseWMSGetFeatureInfo,
		onFailure: showResponseFailureWMSGetFeatureInfo
	});

Firebug shows for the headers, the same as above.

I have looked into the Ajax-code, googled for an answer, tried utf-8 and so
on, but i have nothing found, what helps.

My hope is, that someone here have an idea to get the right chars.


Mit freundlichen Grüssen
