Hi.

I am testing the wwHTTP class, and when I send a post with characteres like ñ, á, é, í, ó, ú; my API gets something like !¿1/2 for each one; so, I need to know if there is a way to send those characteres. I tested write a '' before the character, but it did not work.

Regards!

try

oHTTP = create('wwHTTP')
…
oHTTP.addHeader('content-encoding', 'UTF-8')
…
oHTTP.addPostKey('someKey', strConv('ñ, á, é, í, ó, ú', 9))
…

Hi Rick.

Thanks for your answer.

I confirm that the strConv('ñ, á, é, í, ó, ú', 9) was enough.

Thank you again.

While that will work and can be a good idea, that should also not be necessary.

Try this:

DO wwHttp

loHttp = CREATEOBJECT("wwHttp")
loHTTP.addPostKey('FirstName', strConv('ñ, á, é, í, ó, ú', 9))
ShowHtml( loHttp.Post("https://west-wind.com/wconnect/testpage.wwd") )

and scroll to the bottom of the page where the post variables are echo'd back. You should see the value displayed as is:

Raw characters and no special encoding should work as long as your code page supports those characters.

You need UTF-8 encoding if you're using extended characters that don't exist in other character sets (like Emoji's or Asian or Cyrillic characters etc.). It's not a bad idea to UTF-8 encode to make sure there's no ambiguity but Web servers will receive the text as UTF-8 or unicode and work with either. As long as FoxPro can generate the correct string it will work in the POST data.

Rick,

Please note that the e-mails I receive from the message board have this header:

X-GND-Status: PHISHING

and thus go directly into my Thunderbird spam folder.

FWIW, here is the complete message header (encoded '@' to avoid e-mail address fishing):

I should be able to write a rule to avoid that, thought you might want to know.

That's your mail server (Ghandi?) adding that header, meaning it's flagging the messages based on some blacklists I guess. Nothing I can do about that...

FWIW, I get messages on three services (GMail, Outlook.com, and FastMail) and neither of those flag the messages.
