Setting encoding in calls to Ext.Ajax.Request.

[shr1975]

Hi,

I have an HTML page that is UTF-8 encoded.

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/>

I am using Ext.Ajax.request to asynchronously submit to the server. However, my requirement is that the encoding should not be sent for certain submissions.

I tried using the following but to no avail:

headers: {'Content-Type':'text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1'}

and

Ext.Ajax.defaultHeaders = {'Content-Type':'text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1'}

Both of the above cause the rest of the parameters to be wiped out (the server does not receive the rest of the parameters that I send in the call to Ext.Ajax.request in the params config option).

How can I set the character encoding to something other than UTF-8 in my calls to Ext.Ajax.request()?


Thanks.

Whenever I use Ext.Ajax.Request, the character encoding that the server receives is UTF-8. On the other hand, whenever there is a full submit, the character encoding that the server receives is "null".

Why is there a difference in the encoding between the two forms of submit?

I do not want to set the encoding of the request to UTF-8 while using Ext.Ajax.Request. Is there anyway that I can achieve it?

I tried using XMLHttpRequest and it is working fine.

Does Ext.Ajax.request by default encode the request in UTF-8?

Is this a bug in Ext?
