Re: Dealing with encoding

Hi Stephanie

I think you've misinterpreted p:http-request/@encoding, actually.

If you know your HTML files use windows-1252, I suggest you http-request
them as binary files (which you will receive as base64-encoded
bytestreams), and then pass the result to p:unescape-markup, specifying a
charset at that time (and encoding="base64").

Incidentally, Calabash uses tagsoup to parse HTML, so you may well not
need html tidy at all.

Cheers!

PS I posted this message this morning but it doesn't seem to have come through - I apologise if you get two copies.
