XMLHTTP with Japanese character set

[Guest_imported]

My job is to display Japanese characters using XMLHTTP.
I don't have any problem with english (1 byte) but whenever
I "GET" Japanese website, all characters (2 bytes) are messed up. anyone know how I can fix this?

here is code.
Set objHTTP = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP&quot
objHTTP.Open "GET",

http://www.domain.co.jp,

false
objHTTP.SetRequestHeader "Content-Type","text/html;
charset=ISO-2022-JP"
objHTTP.Send ""
StrResult=objHTTP.responseText

response.write StrResult

thank you very much in advance.

Shouldn't that be an encoding problem? I don't know VB, but can you set the default encoding odf the file you receive, for your own system.

Usually, Japanese text is encoded as UTF-16. The italian vowels you mention (Enrico) are in the upper set of ASCII characters >128, and they do not display correctly using UTF-8.

I don't know for sure, but I guess this would be a system configuration problem. The files you retrieve could be just right, but their display can be messed up. What are you using for viewing the xml content? [red]Nosferatu[/red]
