Description

« Hide

When we use Chatd module in Moodle, the users using IE7 report the substitution of particular letters (in our case Italian) è ì ò à etc etc with strange characters. IE7 set itself on European ISO. This issue do not occur with Firefox, that correctly set ourself in the right charset UTF8

I suppose the encodin ehaders is missing in chat server code, please fix apache configuration for now, there should be no default charset directive.

I have tried to change apache default charset to UTF-8, and MS IE does not render polish latin characters properly.
The problem is the same when no default charset is set.

I use debian server, apache2, php5, moodle 1.9.3

I agree with Eloy Lafuente, that charset should be set in header of chatd.

I'm sorry for mess, but I don't know how to edit my previous comment. I described behaviour of chatd under Internet Explorer 6.

Now I use MS Internet Explorer 7 and it render polish national characters properly. Apache default charset is set to UTF-8.
