I am trying to add contacts to an address book and have problems with umlauts. Is this a bug in the version?

Regards Daniel

Daniel,

It appears that you are likely double utf-8 encoding…

When I use the following JavaScript to create part of the request (within the Parameters Element) and post it to the XMLAPI (21.5 and 20.0.x are the same at this time) …

function Test24809(objParamNode) {

var szFolderClass = "IPF.Contact";

var szType = "contact";

var szFolderPath = "PUBLIC/nelson-murdock.int/Contacts";

Status(szFolderPath + " : " + szFolderClass + "[" + szType + "]");

var objNow = new Date();

var szCID = objNow.getFullYear() + "-" + ZeroPad(objNow.getMonth(), 2) + "-" + ZeroPad(objNow.getDay(), 2) + "_" + ZeroPad(objNow.getHours(), 2) + ":" + ZeroPad(objNow.getMinutes(), 2) + ":" + ZeroPad(objNow.getSeconds(), 2) + ":" + ZeroPad(objNow.getMilliseconds(), 3) + "_" + RandomInteger(1000, 9999) + "." + RandomInteger(1000, 9999);

Status("PUT: " + szFolderPath + "/" + szCID);

this.objItemNode = objParamNode.appendChild(xmlReq.createElement("Item"));

this.objItemNode.setAttribute("path", szFolderPath);

this.objItemNode.setAttribute("action", "put");

this.objItemNode.setAttribute("type", szType);

this.objItemNode.setAttribute("cid", szCID);

var szFirstName = "Steffen";

var szLastName = "Grögor"; // The xmlhttp object will encode this as UTF-8

var szEmail1Address = "s.groegor@intern.xyz.de";

Status(szFirstName + " " + szLastName);

this.objItemNode.appendChild(xmlReq.createElement("FirstName")).text = szFirstName;

this.objItemNode.appendChild(xmlReq.createElement("LastName")).text = szLastName;

this.objItemNode.appendChild(xmlReq.createElement("DisplayName")).text = (szFirstName + " " + szLastName);

this.objItemNode.appendChild(xmlReq.createElement("FileAs")).text = (szLastName + ", " + szFirstName);

this.objItemNode.appendChild(xmlReq.createElement("Email1Address")).text = szEmail1Address;

return true;

}

My script shows the following output…

07:50:34.422:ItemOperation:VERBOSE:BuildXML: 24809

07:50:34.422:ItemOperation:PUBLIC/nelson-murdock.int/Contacts : IPF.Contact[contact]

07:50:34.422:ItemOperation:PUT: PUBLIC/nelson-murdock.int/Contacts/2021-03-03_07:50:34:422_3013.7368

07:50:34.578:ItemOperation:1 <Item> elements returned

Tracing from the XML API shows…

07:50:34.515 I [4767ADEC] 0x4142002E Connection: 192.168.0.100 Server:api.nelson-murdock.int Method:POST SSL:1 User-Agent:Mgmt test script 2.0

07:50:34.562 I [4767ADEC] 0x41420030 Connection terminating

The resultant contact within PUBLIC/nelson-murdock.int/Contacts contains…

</contact>

And the response xml from the API is as follows…
