[SOLVED] QT5/gSOAP = encoding problem

unmanner

Hi all!

I have problem encoding with gSOAP/QT5/Zend2/WSDL.

My russian string in bytes presented as: "H81:0" !!!

But gSOAP RECV.log shown that string is OK in server response!

What are missing? All source core in utf-8, wsdl and sever part in utf-8 too.

But MVS debugger shown that my sdt::string is "H81:0"! What are .... ?!

NOTE: All English charsets are OK.
NOTE2: setCodecForLocate does not give any effect.

What does Qt have to do with your std::string coming out of gSOAP? How are you outputting the string?

Show us the input, expected output, and some code otherwise we could spend a long time guessing.

Hi Chris!

I just printout gSOAP *string *in QT program as:

fprintf(stdout, "string: %d\n", result.return_->string.c_srt());
OR
qDebug() << "String" << result.return_->string.c_srt();
OR
textInput.setTest(result.return_->string.c_srt());

Where result.return_->string have type std::string.

And everywhere above I got "03>;>2>;" instead of "Заголовок".

I also tried result.return_->string.toLocal8Bit() and other but I get "03>;>2>;" again and again..

Please stop my nightmare, if it possible..

Try to ask on gSOAP support forum or on IRC channel... setCodecForLocate is for Qt strings only... In your case it has nothing to do with Qt.

Your example string "Заголовок" when UTF-8 encoded is a series of bytes with the following hex values:
D0 97 D0 B0 D0 B3 D0 BE D0 BB D0 BE D0 B2 D0 BE D0 BA
with two bytes per character in this case. You can check this by "dumping the std::string in hex":http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5990825/convert-an-ascii-stdstring-to-hex.

If you printf() that to a console configured for the Windows 1251 (or other 8-bit encoding), which tries to treat each byte as a character, you will get garbled output.

To convert your std::string/C-string containing a UTF-8 encoded value into a QString you should try:
@
std::string s1;
QString value2 = QString::fromUtf8(s1.c_str());
// or
char *s2;
QString value2 = QString::fromUtf8(s2);

Thank you!
'soap_init1(&soap_object, SOAP_C_UTFSTRING);' should be used for UTF-8 strings, without any affect of QT standart application.
