Rails - Jul 2006 - Web service and Builder doesn't return Norwegian ÆØÅ

Hi,

I''m working with using Rails as a backend for a Flex 2.0 application. I
use web services to access data in a mysql database. It works very well 
except when the data include Norwegian ???.

Symptoms are:

 - Using SOAP I get a string of scrambled characters. Strings without 
??? are just fine
 - Using XMLRPC just drops out the ???''s
 - Using REST with RXML templates returns ? instead of ???
 - Normal pages from rhtml templates are just fine

Looks like something wrong with xml and charactersets.

???


Thanks:-)

Hm, it looks like the returned soap is base64 encoded when the string 
has ???. Is there any way to prevent this??
