XML text received is not what was sent by server

[OnQueIT]

I am receiving a EULA from a server. When I get it and look at what I got, the text has been changed. Some of the EULA is in French which has words with a grave accent (è) encoded, but when I get it, the letters are changed to a question mark(?). Example: pr?ntes should be présentes. Any clues as to why this is happening would be appreciated.

Here is similar code I am using to POST and receive data back from the server:
oHTTP = CREATEOBJECT("Microsoft.XMLHTTP&quot
oHTTP.Open("POST", {Server Address} ,.F.)
oHTTP.setRequestHeader("Content-Type","text/xml&quot
oHTTP.Send(lcXML)
orXML = oHTTP.responseText

Is it in the way I'm requesting from the server or is it a language pack for FoxPro I need?

You can tell for certain whether or not this is a VFP problem by looking ag the raw XML outside of VFP (say in Notebook). What does the character look like there?

Anyway, I would say that the problem is likely that you're not including the correct character set parameter in the Content-type header. I would suggest trying this one:

Content-Type: text/html; charset:ISO646-FR1;

Oh, and I forgot to mention, you should look here for lots of info on encoding your XML properly:

I start by creating lcXML and the first line of it is:
lcXML = [<?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot; encoding = &quot;ISO-8859-1&quot;?>]
lcXML = lcXML + CHR(10) + [<Request>]
lcXML = lcXML + CHR(10) + [<TransactionReference>]
fill in the rest your self
lcXML = lcXML + CHR(10) + [</TransactionReference>]
lcXML = lcXML + CHR(10) + [</Request>]
followed by:

oHTTP = CREATEOBJECT(&quot;Microsoft.XMLHTTP&quot
oHTTP.Open(&quot;POST&quot;, {Server Address} ,.F.)
oHTTP.setRequestHeader(&quot;Content-Type&quot;,&quot;text/xml&quot
oHTTP.Send(lcXML)
orXML = oHTTP.responseText

so, would I need to change the oHTTP.setRequestHeader parms or were you referring to the what is in the lcXML variable? I did see from Microsoft that I should be using .responseXML instead of .responseText.

My point was that I don't think ISO-8859-1 takes French characters into account. I think you need to use ISO-646-FR1 instead.
