RE: [xsl] MS IXSLProcessor input encoding

["Gabriel K" <gabriel.klappenbach@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ok, here it is. I have a COM object that feeds me the XML. So o.document
contains the XML in UTF-8.

' setup XML-server -----------------------------------
dim o
set o = Server.CreateObject("MwebbCOM.MwebbCOM.1")
o.httpRemoteUser = Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_USER")
o.httpRemoteAddr = Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR")
o.httpQueryString = Request.QueryString
o.BeginTransaction

' setup ADODB Stream --------------------------------
dim oStream
set oStream = createobject("Adodb.Stream")
oStream.Type = 2
oStream.Charset = "UTF-8"
oStream.open
oStream.writeText o.document
oStream.position = 0

<some irrelevant code>

' output with IXSLProcessor --------------------------
Set template = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.XSLTemplate.5.0")
template.stylesheet = domXSL
set processor = template.createProcessor()
processor.input = oStream
processor.input = domXML
processor.output = Response
processor.transform()


The problem is that processor.input reads o.document as an ISO-8859-1
document, instead of UTF-8.
The XML-file has declared UTF-8 and is indeed UTF-8 encoded.
