[Geomoose-users] Fwd: UTF-8 encoding in sent data to the services

[Jim Klassen]

I didn't say anything about MapServer.  I'm asking about the encoding the browser is operating in (set by the charset line in geomoose.html).

Replacing specific letters seems like trouble to me, knowing what charsets are running where and calling something like iconv to convert between them seems more robust to me.
