[mapserver-users] AJAX - GetFeatureInfo - Accent problem

[Martin Ouellet]

Hi,

I have a GetFeatureinfo request that work pretty well (the accent character
is OK) )when I call it directly in IE or FF:

http://MDRIM00-000251/mapserver5/siglight.exe&service=WMS&version=1.1.1&request=getfeatureinfo&info_format=text/html&srs=EPSG:4326
&bbox=-71.332572,46.716784,-71.247428,46.783216&width=992&height=774&layers=hauteur_libre&query_layers=hauteur_libre&feature_count=10&x=423&y=313&format=gif&styles=

ex: Municipalité: Québec

The template behind this layer is a very simple HTML file (saved in
DOS/ISO-8859-1 encoding):

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" class="gfi-label">
    <tr valign="top">
        <td align="right">Municipalité:</td>
        <td class="gfi-value">[Municipali]</td>
    </tr>
</table>

But when I send the same URL request in AJAX, the accent character are not
displayed correctly (in the responseText of the XMLHttpRequest object).

ex: Municipalit?  Qu?c

For firefox, I have fix the problem by adding this line:

xmlHttp.overrideMimeType('text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1');

But this method is not supported by IE.  I presume it's not a Mapserver
issue but if someone has any clue???

Thank you in advance.
