Re: Problems with charsets, investigated...

Erm, ok..
I should have investigated deeper before.
Apparently someone committed in the cvs an with an old, buggy version of
DODS, which was reading the fields with an InputStreamReader, getting the
data with getBinaryStream.
So you can imagine what was happening !
The correct new version uses getCharacterStream, and of course there is no
problem.

Thanx a lot for your help, as it helped me a lot to narrow my
investigation !
