Hi;
Apparently what is happening is the xml file is being read in to a String.
Since they are just reading the text, they don't know the encoding. And when
I get the string, I also don't know the encoding unless I parse it to find
the encoding=.
So it is read with each byte in the original file becoming a char in the
string. And I then convert back with each char becoming a byte. It is messy -
but I'm not sure there is a better solution unless both ends parse the text
to find the encoding=, then reset the stream to then read it.
