I've solved part of the problem with RSS feeds. First, the feed we
generate from hotspot_status.php was a mix of UTF-8 and html
entities. Also it seemed to have double UTF-8 conversion, which
fucked the automatic charset detection. At least as of now the feed
http://auth.ilesansfil.org/hotspot_status.php?format=RSS works on my
two favorite RSS aggregator. Please test it to make sure it works on
all platforms...
That was the was part, as for the actual display I first discovered
that encoding conversion was done by batch, which means it would
concatenate all RSS feeds in one big string and try to convert, which
was an issue when different feeds had different encodings... which is
the case now with Patrick blog in ISO-885-1 and our feed in UTF-8. I
separated the conversion so that it does it on a feed per feed basis.
I gotta sleep... It's on the live server, but it seems the second
feed doesn't get detected properly... will check that tomorrow.
See ya
