Likely, your problem is that you parsed it okay, and now you’re trying to print the contents of the XML and you can’t because theres some foreign Unicode characters. Try to encode your unicode string as ascii first: unicodeData.encode(‘ascii’, ‘ignore’) the ‘ignore’ part will tell it to just skip those characters. From the python docs: … Read more
…there’s a reason they’re called “encodings”… A little preamble: think of unicode as the norm, or the ideal state. Unicode is just a table of characters. №65 is latin capital A. №937 is greek capital omega. Just that. In order for a computer to store and-or manipulate Unicode, it has to encode it into bytes. … Read more
Also check class HttpServerUtility with UrlTokenEncode and UrlTokenDecode methods that is handling URL safe Base64 encoding and decoding. Note 1: The result is not a valid Base64 string. Some unsafe characters for URL are replaced. Note 2: The result differs from the base64url algorithm in RFC4648, it replaces the ‘=’ padding with ‘0’, ‘1’ or … Read more
When you have some binary data that you want to ship across a network, you generally don’t do it by just streaming the bits and bytes over the wire in a raw format. Why? because some media are made for streaming text. You never know — some protocols may interpret your binary data as control … Read more
I see three solutions to this: Change the output encoding, so it will always output UTF-8. See e.g. Setting the correct encoding when piping stdout in Python, but I could not get these example to work. Following example code makes the output aware of your target charset. # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- import sys print … Read more
You need to change the import of your class: import org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Base64; And then change your class to use the Base64 class. Here’s some example code: byte[] encodedBytes = Base64.encodeBase64(“Test”.getBytes()); System.out.println(“encodedBytes ” + new String(encodedBytes)); byte[] decodedBytes = Base64.decodeBase64(encodedBytes); System.out.println(“decodedBytes ” + new String(decodedBytes)); Then read why you shouldn’t use sun.* packages. Update (2016-12-16) You can … Read more
Check out the built-in function encodeURIComponent(str) and encodeURI(str). In your case, this should work: var myOtherUrl = “http://example.com/index.html?url=” + encodeURIComponent(myUrl);
