[TinyOWS-users] Non-ASCII characters not accepted in layer title

[Rahkonen Jukka]

Hi,
 
Doesn't changing the encoding parameter make the whole output look like it isn't UTF-8 any more? The documentation says
encoding : Output encoding. Default is UTF-8. Others values could be ISO-8859-1 for instance. No encoding conversion is done on datas, encoding is declarative. 
I want to use UTF-8 so I just made some violence for the Finnish language by editing away the non-ASCII characters from my configuration file and now I can go on with testing.
 
I verified several times that my server really does stop if I have "ä" character in the title
title="MML-lentokentät v. 2011"
The server version is r537 and it is running on Ubuntu 10.04.
 
Regards,

	Jukka,
	
	
	Special characters must be handled in the server responses and in the database transactions.
	
	
	That's why was added to TinyOWS the following config attributes:
	
	
	
/tinyows at encoding	 /map/metadata at wfs_encoding 	
/tinyows at db_encoding	 /map/metadata at tinyows_db_encoding 	
	
	
	GetCapabilities and other WFS requests seems to be broken when the xml response finds a character that 
	doesn't belong to the current encoding (UTF-8 by default).
	
	I suggest that you set the tinyows at encoding (config.xml) or map/metadata at wfs_encoding (config.map) to 
	a ISO-8859-X, where X takes values from 1 to 9, to support the special characters you handle.
	
	Cheers from México

	Hi,
	
	It looks like adding this layer into config.xml breaks GetCapabilities and it seems to be because of "MML-lentokentät". With "MML-lentokentat" it is accepted. Is this limitation coming from the standard?
	
	<layer retrievable="1"
	    writable="0"
	    ns_prefix="lv"
	    ns_uri="http://latuviitta.fi/"
	        name="mml_airport"
	        title="MML-lentokentät v. 2011"
	        abstract="Maanmittauslaitoksen 1:1000000 airport-taso" />
