Hi Automaters,

 

I'm getting a .csv file from HTTP (GET), and when i take the output from that the special characters are encoded with � instead of 'æ' 'ø' and 'å'. Can i put anything into my HTTP request that encodes it into the right UTF?

I have the same question (0)

    Accept - HTTP | MDN (mozilla.org)

    Accept-Encoding - HTTP | MDN (mozilla.org)

    Hi @lbendlin,

     

    Not quite sure i understand. Is accept headers like charset etc?

     

    Could you possibly illustrate with a picture?

    Try one of the accept headers. Focus on 65001

    Hi @lbendlin,

     

    Apparently I didn't recieve a notification from your reply. I've tried the following:

    MadsV_2-1708588816878.pngMadsV_3-1708588823419.png

    This is in the Header section of the HTTP call. I've also tried without Content-Type.

    Usually you can specify the expected encoding in the headers for the HTTP call.  Did you do that?
