decypher Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 This is what i'm trying to figure out... $hFile = FileOpen("temp.txt", 128); $cFile = FileRead($hfile); I open temp.txt file (that contains UTF-8 string) as unicode UTF8 then I read it into $cFile. The $cFile encoding is ascii now?! Then I try to StringSplit the content and send it over http post method. The server gets ascii encoding in such case. Should I encode it back to UTF-8 before post? looks a little strange... first of all how do I encode it back to UTF-8? and won't I lose the characters from such conversion? Cannot figure out why the $cFile encoding is ascii after FileOpen 128 flag? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchd Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 After reading the file, your $cFile variable holds its contents. AutoIt use Unicode to store strings, so it's technically a UTF16-LE string. As a matter of fact, it's generally impossible to perform a lossless conversion from Unicode to ANSI. Unicode encoding is irrelevant here.

decypher Posted June 13, 2011 Author Share Posted June 13, 2011 (edited) Now how exactly do you post your string(s) is where the issue lies. before posting I do StringSplit content of the $cFile, then I use winhttp udf. It looks as follow: $text = StringSplit("+343+", $cFile, 1); $hOpen = _WinHttpOpen(); $hConnect = _WinHttpConnect($hOpen, "example.local", 80); $hRequest = _WinHttpOpenRequest($hConnect, "POST", "mcatapi/index.php", Default, "", "*/*"); $data = "mode=language&text=" & $text[1]; _WinHttpSendRequest($hRequest, "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" & @CRLF, $WINHTTP_NO_REQUEST_DATA, StringLen($data), 0); _WinHttpWriteData($hRequest, $data); _WinHttpReceiveResponse($hRequest); ConsoleWrite(_WinHttpReadData($hRequest)); _WinHttpCloseHandle($hRequest); _WinHttpCloseHandle($hConnect); _WinHttpCloseHandle($hOpen); Interesting thing here, I tried to post $text with text string I entered in autoit editor: $text = "some text in russian"; and i got right encoding at the server side which has en_US.UTF-8 locale.

jchd Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Look again at _WinHttpWriteData function header: ; #FUNCTION# ;=============================================================================== ; ; Name...........: _WinHttpWriteData ; Description ...: Writes request data to an HTTP server. ; Syntax.........: _WinHttpWriteData($hRequest, $data [, $iMode]) ; Parameters ....: $hRequest - Valid handle returned by _WinHttpSendRequest(). ; $data - Data to write. ; [b]$iMode - Integer representing writing mode. Default is 0 - write ANSI string.[/b] ; Return values .: Success - Returns 1 ; - @extended receives the number of bytes written. ; - Sets @error to 0 ; Failure - Returns 0 and sets @error: ; |1 - DllCall failed. ; Author ........: trancexx, ProgAndy ; Modified.......: ; Remarks .......: $data variable is either string or binary data to write. ; $iMode can have these values: ; |0 - to write ANSI string ; |1 - to write binary data ; Related .......: ; Link ..........; http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa384120(VS.85).aspx ; Example .......; Yes ; ;==========================================================================================That means that the string is silently converted to ANSI (using your client locale) before being sent. Now for the server locale: it uses UTF-8 encoding (meaning that it will gracefully process any UTF-8 encoded string) and other locale settings 'date/time, numbers, ... format as per en-US.

jchd Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 With the "binary" flag, the data is sent verbatim, that is as the string of bytes which code for UTF16-LE AUtoIt data. That isn't what you need either. Try converting your AutoIt string to UTF-8 before sending it (using _WinAPI_WideCharToMultiByte with codepage = 65001) This wonderful site allows debugging and testing regular expressions (many flavors available).
