            Bug ID: 419670
           Summary: Support difference character set for query and results
                    fro z39.50
           Product: tellico
           Version: 3.2.3
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: ro...@periapsis.org
          Reporter: ro...@periapsis.org
  Target Milestone: ---

>From mailing list:

Some Z39.50 servers available around here seem to use different
encodings for search queries and marc entries.

For example, catalogo.bnportugal.pt which accepts latin1 for search
queries but uses ISO-5426 for database entries. In yaz-client, I am able
to interact with this server by explicitly setting these character
encodings:

    marccharset iso5426
    querycharset latin1
    open catalogo.bnportugal.pt

But in Tellico there is only one "character set" option, so either
non-ASCII searches don't work or non-ASCII content in the results is
garbled. Looking at the code (If I am looking in the right place -
z3950connection.cpp?), it seems it's not possible to set separate
encodings for incoming and outgoing data (m_sourceCharSet is used for
both?).
