That server/page has a mime-type text/plain with no explicit encoding (charset)
setting, so we have to guess. Like utf-8, pure latin1/iso88591 does not work.
The following does work, but you can't be sure everything went well (beLenient
takes some bytes as they are).
ZnDefaultCharacterEncoder
value: ZnCharacterEncoder latin1 beLenient
during: [
ZnClient new
get:
'http://www.darkreading.com/partner-perspectives/malwarebytes/locky-returns-with-a-new-(borrowed)-distribution-method/a/d-id/1328723';
yourself ].
I added some API earlier today, so that the following should also work (you
need to load Zn #bleedingEdge first).
ZnClient new
defaultEncoder: ZnCharacterEncoder latin1 beLenient;
get:
'http://www.darkreading.com/partner-perspectives/malwarebytes/locky-returns-with-a-new-(borrowed)-distribution-method/a/d-id/1328723';
yourself.
