Howdy,
Are there any known issues with UTF-8 encoding with the WebEx API?
Problem 1: Retrieving a list of Training Center sessions which include unicode characters or accented characters (e.g. á) is incorrectly returned as ISO-8859-1. Even if I set the Accept-Charset header in the request. The HTTP response header and the XML document declaration are both set to ISO-8859-1. https://developer.cisco.com/media/webex-xml-api/22CharacterEncodinginRequestandResponseMessages.html says UTF-8 should be the default, but I'm not seeing that anywhere.
Problem 2: Creating a session with a <confName> value that includes a unicode, or accented character results in an error
<serv:reason>validation: Parsing Error : The element type "serv:message" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</serv:message>".
Line : 1
Column : 734
</serv:reason>
Again, trying various ways to convince the API with the Content-Type request header and the XML doc declaration both referencing UTF-8. Escaping with HTML entity name or XML entity number references, or wrapping in <![CDATA[...]]> all make no difference.
I'm using the apidemoeu sandbox, but the only similar issue I could find on these forums is Re: Choosing a Subset of Records
Anyone got any hints on what I can try next? Have tried Ruby and CURL. Happy to provide more specifics or sample XML. Everything works just fine until I add a 'á' to the conf name!
Thanks for any tips you may have!
