[Greasemonkey] Javascript character encoding problem

[Jonas Lundberg]

Hello,
no that does not work. It seems that although the page headers can say
something about the encoding, they do not affect the actual encoding
of the message.

I noticed that a normal submit (using a submit button) on some pages
sends the characters scrambled, and on other pages as they should be.
Thus, using a normal submit, the character encoding depends on the
page encoding.

Now, how do I set the actual encoding of what I send through 
GM_xmlhttpRequest? Is that at all possible?

Regards
Hans


This is my send function again:

    function send(data)             {
    GM_xmlhttpRequest({
    method: 'POST',
    url: mysubmit,
    headers: {
        'Content-type': 'multipart/form-data; boundary=shapecms; charset=utf-8',
    },
    data: data,
    onload: function(responseDetails) {
            var ok = '200';
            if(responseDetails.status == ok) {
            }
    //       GM_log(responseDetails.responseText);
    }
}) };

Regards
Hans
