[Mono-aspnet-list] Globalization still not working in Mono 2.10

[H .]

Hi Robert,

thanks for the information. Yes, I am testing under Windows but I want to deploy my applications under Linux in the future. I have tested the following
<globalization fileEncoding="iso-8859-1" culture="de-DE" uiCulture="de-DE"/> section.

This is what I found out:

fileEncoding="utf-8": Default.aspx must be utf-8, test.htm must be utf-8
fileEncoding="iso-8859-1": Default.aspx can be utf-8 or iso-8859-1, test.htm must be utf-8!?!

>From the results I conclude the following:
Mono cannot display standard html files encoded in iso-8859-1. The problem for me is, that I have to display certain static html files from a database. These files' encodings are corrupted in Mono.

Anyway, I will do further testings of my web applications based on the above <globalization> section and strict utf-8 encoding.


Best regards,
Martin
