flash form strange encoding

[Sem K.]

Hi,

I have an internationalized flash form, that posts (via GET) to a perl
cgi script.

The form has a name field. 3/4 of the times, I receive the name, as I
expect in unicode. However, in other cases, I receive something like
that: "áãéºä ...." .

Have someone encountered something similar ?

It is not "escaping" as far as I understand. And I can't identify the
encoding.

Any help will be appretiated.

Thanks,
Sem K.

When you say 'unicode' do you mean UTF8?

That looks like the way HTML (or XML of any other SGML derived ML)
encode characters outsite the current encoding. Looks like somehow
the client thinks the field is of type text/html (or somesuch) rather
than text/plain.

I somehow doubt this is Perl related.
