Hi,
we just recognized a problem with the character encoding in the ncWMS
getCapabilities document.
All GetCapablities documents from thredds return a HTTP response header with
Content-Type: text/xml;charset=ISO-8859-1
while document itself states
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
When adding any non-ASCII characters to the files, e.g. via ncml adding
an abstract attribute (UTF-8) with 'sjøiskonsentrasjon' = sea-ice
concentration, we get some problems.
On
http://thredds-staging.met.no/thredds/wms/geirs_norsk_test/ice/conc_nh_agg?service=WMS&version=1.3.0&request=GetCapabilities
sjøiskonsentrasjon is translated to ISO-8859-1 (as stated in charset=,
but not as the encoding)
On the corresponding opendap-page:
http://thredds-staging.met.no/thredds/dodsC/geirs_norsk_test/ice/conc_nh_agg.html
, the content-type is
Content-Type: text/html
without any charset mentioned. The data is send as UTF-8 - (the default
is not clear to me). (It's neither clear how attribute character-data
translates to netcdf and where to put the _Encoding attribute. But
that's a different story...)
The corresponding catalog.xml page is completely correct:
http://thredds-staging.met.no/thredds/test.xml
with
Content-Type: text/xml;charset=UTF-8
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
The corresponding catalog.html page is clearly UTF-8, too.
Best regards,
Heiko
