Extracting UTF8 text from Ajax-based server-supplied HTML into JavaScript -

-

my server side code perl cgi, accessed via ajax (xmlhttprequest). application multi-lingual (english/thai).

one operation reads thai utf-8 encoded file on server side, , returns content embedded in html frame client. text responsetext element of xmlhttprequest. when display resulting string in application, in textarea or div, text shows garbled. non-thai text displays correctly.

i can invoke cgi operation directly browser , content displays correctly, problem seems related process of extracting content response , storing in javascript string variable. have tried various types of transformations during assignment, removed details post since commenters deemed them irrelevant.

the encoding in application html set correctly utf-8.

client side javascript code

function getabstract_api(projectyear,projectid,english_flag, successfunction, errorfunction) {     var requeststring = url + "?action=getabstract&projectyear=" + projectyear;     requeststring += "&projectid=" + projectid +                       "&english_flag=" + english_flag;     var request = new xmlhttprequest();     request.open("get",requeststring);     request.send(null);     request.onreadystatechange = function()        {        if (request.readystate == 4)           {                    if (request.status == 200)               {              var response = request.responsetext;              var errorpattern = /\w*error/;              if (response.match(errorpattern))                 {                 var errcode = extracterrorcode(response);                 var messagedetail = getmessagedetail(errcode);                 showi18nalert(messagedetail);                 if (errorfunction)                     errorfunction();                 return false;                 }              abstracttext = response;               if (successfunction)                 successfunction();              }           else              {              showi18nalert('requesterror_msg');              }           }        } /* end callback function */   }

abstracttext global variable supposed hold returned text, display.

server side perl code:

sub getabstract {     $projectid = $cgi->param('projectid');     $projectyear = $cgi->param('projectyear');     $english_flag = $cgi->param('english_flag');     if (!$projectid)        {        showerror("missing required parameter 'projectid'");        }     if (!$projectyear)        {        showerror("missing required parameter 'projectyear'");        }     if (!$english_flag)        {        $english_flag = 'true';        }     # name of abstract file     $sqlcommand = "select ";     if ($english_flag eq 'true')        {        $sqlcommand .= "abstract_en_file ";        }      else        {        $sqlcommand .= "abstract_th_file ";        }     $sqlcommand .= "from projects id=$projectid;";     logentry("about execute: |$sqlcommand|\n");     $stmt = $gdbh->prepare($sqlcommand);     $numrows = $stmt->execute;     $gsqlerror= $gdbh->err;     $gsqlerrorstr = $gdbh->errstr;     if ($gsqlerror != 0)         {         showerror($gsqlerrorstr); # dies after sending error         }     if ($numrows != 1)         {         showerror("no project found id $projectid");         }     ($filename) = $stmt->fetchrow_array;     if (($english_flag eq 'false') && ($filename eq 'null'))         {         returnapplicationerror("cannot read abstract file: $filename\nerrorcode|112|\n");         }     $path = "$homedir/$gdoclocation/abstracts/$filename";     $fh;     if (!open($fh, '<',$path))        {        returnapplicationerror("cannot read abstract file: $path\nerrorcode|111|\n");        }     $filecontents = '';     @lines =  <$fh>;     foreach $line (@lines)        {        $filecontents .= "$line";            }     close $fh;     showsuccess("~abstract~\n$filecontents");     # showsuccess returns passed text within html document  }

please don't waste time criticizing style or idioms. know there amateurish elements. i'm learning go along!

thanks.

i using volley upload list of images server. happens within service. once image uploaded remove list. problem arises when internet connection breaks. when internet connection breaks , comes again thinking of adding images yet uploaded request queue. this can result in more 1 copy of same image saved on server request same image might have gone through before getting rseponse. how can address scenario? i'm not quite sure why you're using service schedule requests volley automatically runs it's request in seperate thread. nevertheless can listen both request results, successful , unsuccessful adding listeners. you can remove image list schedule request using volley. if succeeds can carry on desired, if fails can add again list. public static request getimageuploadrequest(final string image) { response.listener<t> responselistener = new response.listener<t>() { @override public void onresponse(t response...
