    BrowserHttpWebRequest and Decode Inconsistencies

    Aug 29, 2007 11:16 AM | LINK

    I have a web service that returns some data encoded in UTF-8.  On IE 6/7, my SL app receives the encoded data.  On FireFox, the data is decoded BEFORE the SL app receives it.  Using Fiddler, I've verified that the data sent to IE and FireFox is the same.  For now, I'm forced to use only characters with hex values of 7F or less since UTF-8 encoding doesn't change them.  Please address this inconsistency in a future SL release.

    Thanks,

    W James

    Sorry.  There was a typo in the original post.  On FireFox, the data is not decoded before the SL app receives it.  It is re-encoded.  :(
