Question

I have two applications running on diffrent servers with diffrent DB’s. I need to post some data from one to another, so ,i use post method. I concatenate related info into a string, then POST it…
My data is something like:

26AU223/AHMET DEMİROĞLU/18439586958/0//2000-07-31/2000-06-11/42.00/0

For turkish characters, i try to use

var1 = '26AU223/AHMET DEMİROĞLU/18439586958/0//2000-07-31/2000-06-11/42.00/0'
var1.encode('iso8859_9')

but when i receive this data on the second application and decode it, i realize that Turkish characters can not be decoded correctly, so my result is :

26AU223/AHMET DEM�O�U/18439586958/0//2011-07-31/2008-06-11/42.00/0

So İ and Ğ causes problem, and also following first letters R and L are mis-decoded too.

I tried diffrent encoding parameters for turish, also tries to POST daha without encode/decode (both applications use UTF-8) but i get a similar encoding error, with a strange � instead of İR and ĞL .

Answer 1

I solve the problem with the easiest possible way (:

before quote my text, i cast it to string :

quote(str(var1))

And on the other side, unquote it in a similar way:

unquote(str(var1))

That solve the problem
