MapInfo and UTF-8

[Milo van der Linden]

Hello list,

I have some problem with my Mapserver WFS server. In the mapfile there
is a MapInfo tab that has special characters like ú and ç. MapInfo tabs
are encoded in WindowsLatin1.

I have set wfs_encoding is UTF-8 in the Map section of the Map File and
encoding = ISO-8859-1 for the MapInfo tab.

the GML output says <xml encoding=utf-8> like it should, but the
attributes returned for this particular MapInfo table are meshed up
because the special characters are not outputted correct.

Is there a check in MapServer WFS that tries to match the tables
encoding with the required GML encoding and converts characters where
needed?

Or are there other tricks?

Kind regards,
--
