Hi Walter,

thanks for the feedback - I've changed the urf methods to use the StringTheory methods (which are better). The only "catch" is matching up the correct windows code page for the various languages. I defaulted the "western europe" ones to ASCII - but there is an alternate code page that can be used.

So here's a test you can run - please give it a try and then let me know if it's better;

open netweb.clw
search for the method;
NetWebServerWorker.UtfToAscii

notice the CASE statement at the start of the procedure. You'll see that "store as Portuguese" is with a group of other languages. move it from the ASCII block to the "Danish" block. ie change

  of net:StoreAsSpanish
  orof net:StoreAsPortuguese
  orof net:StoreAsFrench
  orof net:StoreAsWesternEurope 
  orof net:StoreAsAscii
    ans.ToAnsi(st:EncodeUtf8,st:CP_US_ASCII)
   
  of net:StoreAsDanish
    ans.ToAnsi(st:EncodeUtf8,st:CP_WINDOWS_1252)

to
  of net:StoreAsSpanish
  orof net:StoreAsFrench
  orof net:StoreAsWesternEurope 
  orof net:StoreAsAscii
    ans.ToAnsi(st:EncodeUtf8,st:CP_US_ASCII)
   
  of net:StoreAsDanish
  orof net:StoreAsPortuguese
    ans.ToAnsi(st:EncodeUtf8,st:CP_WINDOWS_1252)

Then search for
NetWebServerWorker.AsciiToUtf
and do the same there.

Let me know what happens.

cheers
Bruce

I need an example of the problem, and the description of what I'm looking at. Remember I don't speak Portuguese, so please explain the issue carefully.

cheers
