Hi. Doing a quick/basic pycurl test on a site and trying to convert the returned page to pure ascii.
The page has the encoding line <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1"> The test uses pycurl, and the StringIO to fetch the page into a str. pycurl stuff . . . foo=gg.getBuffer() -at this point, foo has the page in a str buffer. What's happening, is that the test is getting the following kind of error/ UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xa0 in position 20: invalid start byte The test is using python 2.6 on redhat. I've tried different decode functions based on different sites/articles/stackoverflow but can't quite seem to resolve the issue. Any thoughts/pointers would be useful!
