Hello all,
I hope this is the correct newsgroup for this question.
Does anybody know how I can write a html-header with python(cgi)?
The problem is, I have a few html templates in which I have a header e.g:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
In this template I write a few Mysql variables.
Those variable often have german characters. This characters (Gösing in
stead of Gösing). The german characters in the html template are shown
correctly.
If I change the character encoding with the browser to utf-8, all the characters are shown correctly.
As you can see, I put in the header of the html template that the encoding
is UTF-8, the browser still shows windows ISO-8859-15. Can I write the
header with python so the browser uses the utf-8 encoding?
My hosting providor uses fedora core 2, Python 2.2.3, MySQLdb. Mysql 3.23.58
I googled for hours, but I can't find the answer. I hope ypu can help me.
Thanks in advance.

The problem is then with these variables: apparently, the Mysql
variables are encoded in iso-8859-15, and you need to recode them
to UTF-8 first before putting them into the template.
var = var.decode("iso-8859-15").encode("ut f-8")
As you can see, I put in the header of the html template that the encoding
is UTF-8, the browser still shows windows ISO-8859-15. Can I write the
header with python so the browser uses the utf-8 encoding?
The problem is not the header, but the body. The browser sees your claim
that the page is UTF-8, but doesn't believe it. This is because it tries
to interpret the page as UTF-8, and then finds invalid byte sequences
(your latin-9 characters), and then knows that the page *can't* be
UTF-8. It then guesses that the page must be latin-something. That guess
is wrong, of course, also, because some characters in the page are
utf-8, and others latin-9. This is invalid HTML.

Does your browser send a Content-Type HTTP header (don't confuse this with
the HTML <head> part)? If it does and it specifies a charset, this will
override your <meta http-equiv>. Often iso-8859-1 is the default charset
for the Content-Type header.

If you are using CGI you can set the Content-Type header directly. Before you output your HTML do
print "Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8"
print # blank line, end of headers

Hi,
I'm trying to let PHP write a 'sitemap.xml' sitemap for Google and other
searchengines. It's working, except that the content in the XML file doesn't
seem to be UTF8. (Which it should be, judging by the information given on
Google's webmaster helpcenter).
The way I test to see if the content is UTF8, is by opening the XML file in
notepad and choose 'save as...'. Normally the coding option should be set to
UTF8, but now it just...

Hi all,
I want to create a method that does the following:
1) Programmatically instantiate a new XmlDataSource control
2) For each file in a named directory, make a "FileSystemItem" element
3) On each FileSystemItem Element, make two child nodes, one with the file

I was having issues before with my XML being sent to the browser as UTF16.
Via my XmlTextWriter, was able to fix this by explicitely setting the
encoding to UTF8:
Dim objX As New XmlTextWriter(Response.OutputStream, Encoding.UTF8)
That fixed the issue.

Hi
I am trying to write to a string text encoded to utf8 as oppose to utf16
Since the data comes from an XML object (and I serialize it) I need to pass
either StreamWriter or a StringWriter object, I don't want to create a file
so I want to use a StringWriter (passing to it's constructor a
StringBuilder) The problem is that the StringWriter encodes utf16 (I don't
know how to change it)
