[mapserver-users] GetfeatureInfo-Request in an UTF-8 environment with shapfile in cp-1252

[Milo van der Linden]

Hello Andreas;

What return type of getfeatureinfo are you using?
There are three possibilities: http://mapserver.org/ogc/wms_server.html

1. text/plain
2. text/html
3. gml

If you use text/html; you can set the character encoding to windows ansi:

http://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-html-encoding-declarations#quicklookup

If you use GML, because it is a "flavour" of XML, mapserver MUST serve
UNICODE:(UTF-8 or UTF-16);http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#sec-well-formed  So
if the gml output is not converted to unicode; please file a ticket for this
matter in the osgeo trac database.
