RE: UTF-8 vs UTF-16

[Robert Frohne <RFrohne@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

OK, another question:
How can I get this to work?  It is apparently sending back xml as encoding="utf-16", but I'm getting the ubiquitous error of "XML parse failed at line 1, col 30: encoding specified in XML declaration is inc."

uri = 'https://api.zip2tax.com/TaxRate-USA.xml?' +
      'username=sample&password=password&zip=90210';
 rc = http_url_get_xml(uri: *null: %paddr(getXml): *null);
 if (rc <> 1);
   http_crash();
 endif;

It seems to me the problem resides with how the data is sent back.  It has a header saying "uff-16" when actually it is probably utf-8.

Robert,

HTTP_XML_CALC means that Expat will try to calculate the proper encoding
to use based on the contents of the file.  If your file is in UTF-16
format, and has a header of <?xml encoding="utf-16"?> at the top, then
it should automatically work.

If you want to force it to always use UTF-16 rather than detecting it,
you can change 'HTTP_XML_CALC' to just use the number 1200 (which is the
CCSID of UTF-16).

Hope that helps!
