Danish characters are not coming through #24

Closed cphsolutionslab closed 10 years ago

cphsolutionslab commented 11 years ago

International characters, such as the Danish æøå, is not coming through. Example (you cannot see the problem as the letters aren't there): jsonpdataproxy.appspot.com/?type=csv&url=http://wfs-kbhkort.kk.dk%2Fk101%2Fows%3Fservice%3DWFS%26version%3D1.0.0%26request%3DGetFeature%26typeName%3Dk101%3Atoilet%26outputFormat%3Dcsv%26SRSNAME%3DEPSG%3A4326

I don't think the data served from that url is utf-8, it looks more like latin1/iso-8859-1.

If you add &encoding=latin1 to the end of the URL, it decodes correctly. I think part of the problem is that when it checks the content-type of that url, it doesn't say what the charset is, and as a result it isn't correctly guessing.

I see, that did the job. Thank you ☺
