hi out there! there's been some discussion about utf-8 vs. unicode strings on the list lately. i'd like to ask if my gained understandings are correct und thus possibly make it clear to others also. i have set my python default encoding to utf-8, i always send http responses from zope as utf-8 (by setting the header like this: tal:define="dummy python:request.RESPONSE.\ setHeader('Content-Type','text/html;; charset=utf-8')" ) so if i'd like to use unicode strings in my zope applications, it's still necessary to convert request variables to unicode by using unicode(REQUEST.foo, 'utf-8'), right? as far as i understodd, the conversion back to utf-8 is handled automagically by zope (if the abovementioned header is set), also correct? thanks in advance for your answers! regards, juergen herrmann _______________________________________________________________________
