 | Google Search API and correct encoding 19 July 2007 15:40 (EST) Those using CFMX CFC wrapper for Google Search API should be aware of following encoding issue:
If you have <cfprocessingdirective pageencoding="utf-8" /> tag on your page to support non-English content (cyrillic, chinese, etc.), then call to Google Search API with non-English query would not return anything.
While looking deep into origin of this issue I have discovered that apparently cfinvoke causes the problem. If you will send a SOAP request using cfhttp tag to Google Search API then all results are returned correctly.
But you have to force iso-8859-1 encoding to query string before sending it through CFC and cfinvoke.
<cfset q = CharsetEncode(CharsetDecode(q, "utf-8"), "iso-8859-1") />
Oddly enough? Comments Drop a comment... don't be shy
