XF 2.1 Links from Microsoft's Turkey Site are Scrambled

[Recep Baltaş]

I really think this problem is related to Microsoft's Turkey website's lack of UTF-8 support but I wanted to have your opinion too.

This is the result when XenForo fetches a link's title from Microsoft Turkey website:



It should actually say: Windows 8.1 Disk Görüntüsü (ISO Dosyası) İndir

But letters like ö, ü, ı and İ are scrambled.

You can find the thread here: https://www.technopat.net/sosyal/konu/windows-10dan-8-1e-nasil-gecilir.729160/post-4348385

I have reported this issue to Microsoft. How can I describe the issue better?

Thanks.

Any idea on this?

It's something only they can resolve by romanizing the title in URLs.

IMHO this is a bug in XF metadata handling as it does not behave like a HTML5 compliant browser.

Fixed - \XF\Http\Metadata is not HTML5 compliant

https://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-byte-order-mark.en In HTML5 browsers are required to recognize the UTF-8 BOM and use it to detect the encoding of the page \XF\Http\Metadata does not detect UTF-8 BOM and might incorrectly fallback to windows-1252 if a website does not explicitly...
