many failed uploads caused by non-UTF chars in window title

[Alex L. Demidov]

I've tried running rescuetime_linux_uploader but there is many failed uploads.
Running xmllint on failed files results in following output:

 failed/99.upload.encoded.data:355: parser error : Input is not proper UTF-8, indicate encoding !
Bytes: 0xF3 0xD0 0xC9 0xD3
  <attribute name="window_title" type="string">Список собеседников</attribute>
                                               ^
I've hacked uploader.py to add proper xml header with my local charset (<?xml version="1.0" encoding="KOI8-R"?>)
and it is uploading files fine now.

Interesting, I guess it would be good to grab the local charset.

Can you tell me the output of `locale` command on your system? Thanks!

[Alex L. Demidov (alexeydemidov)]

There is output from `locale` on my system (FreeBSD 6.3):

LANG=ru_RU.KOI8-R
LC_CTYPE="ru_RU.KOI8-R"
LC_COLLATE="ru_RU.KOI8-R"
LC_TIME="ru_RU.KOI8-R"
LC_NUMERIC="ru_RU.KOI8-R"
LC_MONETARY="ru_RU.KOI8-R"
LC_MESSAGES="ru_RU.KOI8-R"
LC_ALL=

One of the things Angus changed was from XML to YAML. I wonder whether you still se this problem? I definitely see in the code how it is trying to encode window titles as UTF8. If you still see this problem with the current trunk version, can you let me know? I'd like to fix this, but I'm not sure if is still a problem.
