3SP Knowledgebase .: SSL-Explorer .: About SSL-Explorer .: Known issues / Bugs .: Special Characters are corrupted in the Replacement Proxy web forwards

Special Characters are corrupted in the Replacement Proxy web forwards

If you are experiancing problems with special language characters in web forwards, its most likely that the default encoding of your SSL-Explorer installation is incompatible with the web sites you are attempting to forward.

Example: http://www.vg.no/pub/vgart.hbs?artid=105606

Using the above Norweigen URL on a default RedHat 8 installation with SSL-Explorer results in corrupt output when accessed through the Replacement Proxy.

Perform the env or set command to output the current environment, on this occasion the LANG environment variable was set to the following.

LANG=en_GB.UTF-8

I shutdown the SSL-Explorer service and executed the following:

export LANG=en_GB

Then to test the new encoding I executed SSL-Explorer in the console using

./sslexplorer-console

Now when I connect and use the test Norweigen URL the encoding is correct.

Unfortunatley the only workaround for this problem is to change the default encoding of the SSL-Explorer host system. We are working to resolve the issue in a future release.
