Hi Dirk, Please try: ZnDefaultCharacterEncoder value: ZnUTF8Encoder new during: [ ZnClient new get: 'http://www.hatinosu.net/onsen/import.kml'; yourself ]. ZnDefaultCharacterEncoder value: ZnUTF8Encoder new during: [ 'http://www.hatinosu.net/onsen/import.kml'asZnUrl retrieveContents ]. The mime-type/content-type of the response, application/vnd.google-earth.kml+xml, does not (directly/automatically) specify the encoding to use (as in charset=utf-8), which result in a ZnNullEncoder being used. HTH, Sven PS: I also assume you are using a Unicode font with the necessary glyphs. On 04 Sep 2014, at 22:28, Wowerat Dirk <dirkwodesu@yahoo.co.jp> wrote:
My code to download some UTF8 text with japanese kanji from an url:
url := 'http://www.hatinosu.net/onsen/import.kml' asZnUrl. url_string := url retrieveContents. url_string class. ByteString
Now the japanese parts of url_string are unreadable. What I need is WidString and not ByteString.
On linux I "solved" the problem with this workaround.
download := 'wget -O /tmp/file.tmp "http://www.hatinosu.net/onsen/import.kml"'. OSProcess thisOSProcess waitForCommand: download. fs := FileStream fileNamed: '/tmp/file.tmp'. string := fs contents. fs close. string class. WideString
How do I do this without extern programms?
Dirk.
