Re: [Boa Constr] xmlrpclib error for UK pound =?ISO-8859-1?B?ow==?= symbol.

[Steve N. <yah...@yo...>]

OK thanks for your replies Riaan and Hans.

I had a look through Zope archives and no one seems to mention a problem/solution from what I could see.  Frustrating that all the xmlrpc stuff I read through doesn't mention this, only the article that Hans provided the link for states characters other than ASCII cause problems.  I guess I'm supposed to know enough to realise this from the specification.

I've got another one giving me the same problems but can't figure out what it is, I thought the only major difference between the US and UK character set was the £.  This must be a pain in the A for anyone not English based.

thanks again for your ideas.
Steve.
