Description

If, on a XMLRPC server, I send a string with accents (and the format is not UTF-8), the client exits with an error:
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rexml/parsers/baseparser.rb:330:in `pull': Missing end tag for 'string' (got "value") (REXML::ParseException)
Line:
Position:
Last 80 unconsumed characters:
</param></params></methodResponse>      from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rexml/parsers/streamparser.rb:16:in `parse'
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rexml/document.rb:200:in `parse_stream'
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/xmlrpc/parser.rb:717:in `parse'
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/xmlrpc/parser.rb:460:in `parseMethodResponse'
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/xmlrpc/client.rb:421:in `call2'
        from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/xmlrpc/client.rb:410:in `call'
        from client.rb:11


Here is the offending code on XMLRPC Server:


require 'webrick'
require 'xmlrpc/server.rb'
servlet = XMLRPC::WEBrickServlet.new
servlet.add_handler("some_command") { "Extens\343o" }

server=WEBrick::HTTPServer.new(:Port => 9090)
trap("INT"){ server.shutdown }

server.mount("/RPC2", servlet)
server.start

I'm not sure how much can be done here.  The error is coming from inside REXML.  Does it support XML content in anything other than UTF-8, at this point?

You're also talking about Ruby 1.8 which doesn't have a lot of encoding options.

Would transcoding your output to UTF-8 (the standard Iconv library can do this) be an option?

If whoever is in control of the redmine site would give me contributor status, 
I'll take this issue.
