Re: I'm looking for a method of converting a string's character encoding

[Sunjoong Lee]

http-get is innocent but I need encoding converter yet.

In front-of my program, after appending a line (set-port-encoding! (current-output-port) "utf-8") , the contents body string of web page displayed well. With with-fluids and %default-port-encoding, I can use html->sxml . But contents of output sxml's codeset is the original web page's. For example, when you want to compare strings, you must use codeset of the web pages's. If you want to compare strings of two web pages, codeset converting method may be need.

#:decode-body? keyword of http-get seems not to work properly; I should set #:decode-body? to false value and decode the contents body string manually. If a web page's charset be utf-8, there be no problem. If not, a problem occurs. decode-response-body of (web client) call decode-string with web page's charset. But real charset of bytevector is iso-8859-1, not web page's charset. If so, you should not let http-get use decode-response-body.
