Re: Microsoft.XMLDOM UTF-8 Encoding!

Exact,

The first byte supose to tell the encoding.
Like this UTF-16 => "Unicode byte-order mark [0xFF 0xFE] or [0xFE 0xFF]"

But Microsoft (and lot more) say that XML file generate with ASP and XMLDOM
are UTF-8 by default. (no byte was added to the file...)

So, How tell "Microsoft.XMLDOM" to save my XML file with a true UTF-8
encoding?
It can be IIS setting?

Here my ASP code
=============

' Nothing special...
Set oDom = server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
  oDom.preserveWhiteSpace = True
  oDom.resolveExternals = false

  Set oRoot = oDom.createElement("root")
  oDom.appendChild oRoot

  Set oEnreg = oDom.createElement("test")

' My string with special car.
' Come from utf-8 web form
  oEnreg.Text = request.form("texte")

  oRoot.appendChild oEnreg
  oRoot.normalize()

  Set oPI = oDom.createProcessingInstruction("xml", "version=""1.0""
encoding=""UTF-8""")
  oDom.insertBefore oPI, oDom.childNodes(0)
  oDom.save Server.MapPath("sauve.xml")
===========
