Flutter: Response string encoding

[vinidiktov]

Hello,

I'm having trouble getting correctly encoded response strings.

Tried both Flutter for Web and for macOS.

I'm on Flutter 1.21.0-1.0.pre • channel dev.

final url2 = 'https://app.vocabilis.com/test/public_call/xmlrpc';
final result = await xml_rpc.call(url2, 'foo', ['мир']);
print(result);

The result I'm getting is "ми� baz".
The correct result should be "мир baz".

What am I missing?

By default utf8 encoding is used but you can provided something else with the encoding named parameter

The server seems to be sending the result in utf8.

I assumed that the string "ми� baz" was encoded as utf8 by the server but not decoded properly by the client.

You can load the pure xml (non rpc) version here:
https://app.vocabilis.com/test/public_call/xml/foo?bar=привет

When you exchange xml_rpc datas both client and server have to use the same encoding. IIRC the spec does not specify an encoding.
