Description Steve Sanbeg 2008-05-13 16:03:17 UTC 
Currently, the API just uses the web server's default encoding, while MediaWiki uses $wgOutputEncoding, which can cuase problems with frameworks that expect the whole wiki to use the same encoding.
Comment 1 Brion Vibber 2008-05-13 16:09:30 UTC 
Should be always speaking UTF-8...

$wgOutputEncoding is pretty much obsolete, and probably should be removed. (There may need to be some checks to see what's interacting with the edit encoding, which I think is only being used for the Esperanto x-coding conversion.)
Comment 2 Steve Sanbeg 2008-05-13 16:24:45 UTC 
Is there a recommended way to get the API to use UTF-8 then?  Like adding a heading line into LocalSettings.php or .htaccess?
Comment 3 Brion Vibber 2008-05-13 16:39:36 UTC 
The charset is specified along with the Content-Type header in ApiFormatBase.php.
