[opencms-dev] encoding error with rss import

[Olli Aro]

Hi Renate,

I am probably the best person to answer this since it is our module :)

When we created the module we could not find an easy and the same time
reliable way to detect the encoding type for the source content, so we
decided to use the default encoding defined in OpenCms, which by default
would be UTF-8. So, the characters are probably getting corrupted when the
RSS is read in in the class com.clicksandlinks.opencms.rss.HTTPDownloader.
That class uses org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient in order to get the
input stream. If someone knows how to detect the encoding for an input
stream or detect it using org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient let me
know and I am happy to implement the required changes in the class. 

Regards,

Olli
