Now inspecting the file containent opens gtinspector and freezes Pharo :( I think that I will remove this part of my book. It is simpler. On Tue, Sep 26, 2017 at 5:53 PM, Stephane Ducasse <stepharo.self@gmail.com> wrote:
I'm reading your chapter :) Now I understand the file I found is totally bogus :) But the first one I found is indeed encoded in latin1. So I'm trying to convert it.

Any chance you can point me to the original file ?
No they removed it May be I could try to convert it to utf-8 (I do not know how to do it)
The file is indeed in Latin1 encoded, but GitHub serves it as UTF-8 (it did not change the contents, but the meta data).
Ok I see the problem
The default encoder option only works when the server says nothing, it does not override what the server says.
Ah ok.
The only way to read it, is by reading it binary (which basically ignores the meta data) and then convert it manually:
(ZnCharacterEncoder latin1 decodeBytes: (ZnClient new beBinary; get: 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SquareBracketAssociates/LearningOOPWithPha...')) lines.
But this is very ugly.
Best convert the original file to UTF-8 before uploading to GitHub.
OK I will try to leanr how to do it.
