11034	AJAX requests stored as UTF-8 even if a non-UTF-8 charset is in use	iansealy	azaozz	"AJAX responses are always sent in UTF-8. If a blog is using a non-UTF-8 charset then the data will potentially be stored incorrectly and any text will often end up garbled.

For example, if your blog uses ISO-8859-1 and some text submitted via AJAX contains non-ASCII characters then they'll be stored in the database as UTF-8 double bytes rather than their ISO-8859-1 single byte equivalents. Since these characters will be displayed as if they're ISO-8859-1 you'll just end up seeing garbage.

The attached hack simply converts all AJAX responses from UTF-8 to the blog's charset using iconv.

I've put this as low priority since most blogs probably use UTF-8. I've also put this in the Autosave component, but obviously all AJAX responses are affected."	defect (bug)	closed	low		Autosave	2.8.5	normal	wontfix	has-patch dev-feedback	iansealy sergey.s.betke@…
