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

[Andrea Peri]

In the xml response.
When it happened I go into the metadata abstracts using the qgis gui,
remove any character over 7bit code and after this the response became well
formed.

Actually we use qgis-server 2.6.
