[Kolab-devel] z-Push encoding problem

[Gunnar Wrobel]

Hi Bogomil,

thanks for working on the encoding stuff.

Zitat von Bogomil Shopov <shopov at kolabsys.com>:

The diff contains the new line

String::setDefaultCharset('UTF-8');

that we discussed on Jabber.

While this might fix the problem for Kolab Zpush the same problem  
might occur in other scenarios where Kolab_Format is used as well. So  
I'd much rather fully understand and potentially fix the issue within  
Kolab_Format (in case it is really a problem of the library).

The only way I can reliably fix the issue - given the quality  
standards that apply to Kolab_Format - is by adding another unit test  
that reproduces the problem within the isolated library. That will  
ensure the same problem does not suddenly pop up again with Horde4 or  
at some later point in the future.

For that I would like to request three things:

  - a utf-8 encoded var_dump of the $kolabxml variable right after the  
String::setDefaultCharset('UTF-8'); you introduced
  - a utf-8 encoded var_dump of the $kcontact variable right after the  
String::setDefaultCharset('UTF-8'); you introduced
  - a utf-8 encoded var_dump of the $kcontact variable right after the  
String::setDefaultCharset('UTF-8'); you introduced but with the  
String::setDefaultCharset('UTF-8'); commented

This of course only for one contact that shows a problematic encoding.

Thanks!

Gunnar
