I am using the YUI 2.7 Ajax (Connection Manager) api and would like to know how to override the content type of the connection manager especially character set.
The problem is that when registered trademark character (R) (Alt+0174) is sent to server using Ajax request its getting converted into Unicode and showing “?” on server side. As our system does not support Unicode db all such characters appear as “?” in the system. After initial analysis we have found that character set is set to UTF-8 for the content type ajax request header. So thought that it might be the issue.
On server side we are using ASP.NET
Any pointers would be helpful.
Take a look at the example shown on the page for Request Signatures, it shows setting a custom header. Overriding default headers should work the same way.
