[Qgis-user] The XML of getcapabilities should not have any ascii code over 128

[aperi2007]

Hi Mattias,

Sorry but this question is hard to understand for me .
Perhaps I miss to analyze another step:

If the operating system of the user is with a character set different 
from UTF8.

And the user is editing a qgis project.
The qgis project what character set is using ?
AFAIK the qgis carset is set in the properties page of qgis.

If this is true,
How can the clipboard of the operating system to know what is the 
charset set in the properties page of qgis ?

AFAIK the clipboard change always and only in the charset of the OS.

A.
