    Hi!

    hmm.. the raw view doesn't decode the UTF-8 characters, it just shows each 8-bit character in the data.. bug or feature?

    merry xmas!

    Ah, makes sense, in that case this is a feature!

    maybe as an enhancement add a toggle to the preferences to switch the display between UTF-8 or 8-bit?

    have a great holiday!

    hi,

    another question about this:

    prior to a fix to our app, our soap response was saying encoded in UTF-8 but the data was in ISO 8859-1, viewing such a message in IE 8, produced the xml error  below.

    after our fix 'use UTF-8 encoding for output', IE 8 displayed the message correctly.

    QUESTION: shouldn't soapui have flagged the message as a schema failure (the IE 8 is) since the encoding UTF-8 did not match the data ISO8859-1?


    ----IE 8 Message----
    The XML page cannot be displayed
    Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then
    click the Refresh button, or try again later.
