fed: eida-federator - Spécial characters

[greg-FR13]

Hi,

Other remark I don't know if at RESIF we are doing well but we may have special characters in descriptions field for example :

Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur VS Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur

eida-federator : http://federator-testing.ethz.ch/fdsnws/station/1/query?station=REVF&minlatitude=42&maxlatitude=44&minlongitude=6&maxlongitude=8&format=text&network=FR

Network|Station|Latitude|Longitude|Elevation|SiteName|StartTime|EndTime

FR|REVF|43.740000|7.367500|700.0|Fort de La Revere, 06059 Eze, Alpes-Maritimes, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France|2003-08-06T00:00:00|2500-12-31T23:59:59

At RESIF : http://ws.resif.fr/fdsnws/station/1/query?station=REVF&minlatitude=42&maxlatitude=44&minlongitude=6&maxlongitude=8&format=text&network=FR

Network|Station|Latitude|Longitude|Elevation|SiteName|StartTime|EndTime

FR|REVF|43.740000|7.367500|700.0|Fort de La Revere, 06059 Eze, Alpes-Maritimes, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France|2003-08-06T00:00:00|2500-12-31T23:59:59

Could you please have a look ?

Thank you,

Best,

Hi @greg-FR13,

which kind of client are you using? When requesting data with curl I obtain

$ curl -v --output - "http://federator-testing.ethz.ch/fdsnws/station/1/query?station=REVF&minlatitude=42&maxlatitude=44&minlongitude=6&maxlongitude=8&format=text&network=FR"

The result seems to be fine. (My locale is en_US.UTF-8).

Hi @greg-FR13, due to security reasons browsers (e.g. firefox) don't seem to encode Content-Type: text/plain properly when no charset is specified. See also: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1407594

FDSN webservice specs don't mention a charset neither. However, to improve user-friendliness IMO we should set charset.

Thanks, again. :+1:
