Thank you, guinness!

... and finally if you have to send utf-8 characters like àèéìòù and so on: 1) specify this header ; Set content type header & specify charset Local $headers = curl_slist_append(0, "Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8") curl_easy_setopt($oCurl, $CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers) 2) convert your json to utf-8 charset like this ; Post fields & size Local $sUtf8 = _WinAPI_WideCharToMultiByte($sJson, 65001) curl_easy_setopt($oCurl, $CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $sUtf8) that's all. Enjoy curl

I have just found the solution and I want to share it with you The secret lies in passing the json data as a pointer instead of as a string. So changing these lines ... ; Post fields & size curl_easy_setopt($oCurl, $CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $sJson) with these: ; Post fields & size Local $stString = DllStructCreate("char v[" & StringLen($sJson) & "]") DllStructSetData($stString, 1, $sJson) curl_easy_setopt($oCurl, $CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, DllStructGetPtr($stString)) and it works perfectly, returning this response: === Json post test === Retcode: - No error Data returned from server { "args": {}, "data": "{\"firstName\":\"Jonathan\",\"lastName\":\"Freeman\",\"loginCount\":4,\"active\": \"yes\",\"text\":\"Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Morbi vel volutpat nunc. Maecenas id tempus mi. Morbi ipsum enim, ultricies ac augue sit amet, ullamcorper finibus ex. Vestibulum vel posuere nibh, nec faucibus eros.

Ciao, This example reproduces the problem I encounter when sending a post request to an echo server. Instead of being sent as text utf8, the data is transmitted base64 encoded. Example: - json String: '{"firstName":"Jonathan","lastName":"Freeman","loginCount":4,"active": "yes","text":"Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Morbi vel volutpat nunc. Maecenas id tempus mi. Morbi ipsum enim, ultricies ac augue sit amet, ullamcorper finibus ex. Vestibulum vel posuere nibh, nec faucibus eros. Nam malesuada non lacus a suscipit. Nulla rhoncus tempus mi quis placerat. Curabitur commodo tincidunt justo quis sollicitudin."}' - server response: "data:application/octet-stream;base64,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" How can I go about transmitting data in text format utf8?

How suggested by Jos, adding output.code.page=0 in SciteUser.properties solved the problem. Thank you. Roy

Hi everybody, I don't know how, I think starting from yesterday, Scite show weird characters in its console panel. Maybe I'm missing some configuration. If I write the following statement: ConsoleWrite("Cioè" & @crlf) I get the following output: CioxE8 The source file encoding is UTF8 with BOM. AutoItVersion 3.3.14.2 Os: Win 7 64Bit Os Language: Italian. Thank you for your help. Roy.
