[mapserver-users] AJAX - GetFeatureInfo - Accent problem

[Daniel Morissette]

Martin,

Did you try setting "ows_encoding" "ISO-8859-1" in the map-level 
metadata? With this metadata directive, MapServer will include an 
encoding value in the <?xml ...> header of the GetFeatureInfo response, 
and hopefully that will be caught by the XMLHttpRequest.
