Hi B. I got a huge problem sending out danish characters. If i GET to nowsms writing "&text=æøå&charset=iso-8859-1". Nowsms changes this to "%C3%A6%C3%B8%C3%A5" whereas it should have been "%E6%F8%E5". I tried with other charsets but they either do not work or they do the same as iso-8859-1. | |||

Hi Lars, Sorry, my time has been all consumed trying to get NowSMS 2006 finalised for release. So I am now back. Are you connecting to an HTTP based SMSC interface? While the "charset=" parameter on the inbound request tells NowSMS what character set is used for the message being submitted ... NowSMS will then convert the message to UTF-8 for internal processing. For an HTTP SMSC, to set its character set, you need to manually edit SMSGW.INI, and under the [HTTP - a.b.c.d:xyz] section header add: Charset=iso-8859-1 Specifies the character set to be used when submitting text messages to an HTTP based SMSC. By default NowSMS uses UTF-8, however some service European or American providers might expect iso-8859-1 (the standard Western European "text" character set). Hopefully I've guessed right about the problem! -bn | |||
