Re: http_url_post_xml and utf-8 encoding

[magne@xxxxxxxxx]

   Hi Scott,

   thanks for your reply.

   I had a chat with the server people and it seems like I have to add 1
   to content length (3rd parameter in http_url_post_xml) for every
   norwegian special character in the SOAP variable.

   Is there any way I can fix this by changing something in httpapi?

   I am currently using HTTPAPI Ver 1.17 released 2006-09-23.

   Best regards

   Magne
