SAHI and UTF-16

Hello All,

My web application generates UTF-16 web pages and it looks like this situation is not recognized by SAHI correctly. With embedded Sahi code on top contains Sahi code in UTF-8, then comes two bytes that identifies UTF-16, then comes all page data starting with <html>. Internet explorer gets confused about that and displays page as UTF-8. Is it possible to add/switch on UTF-16 support?

    Hi Pine,
    Can you please attach the URL of the webpage you are referring to?

    It is on internal site. Any page in UTF-16 is ok.

    Resolved the problem myself. Root cause was that our Web server gives iso8859-1 charset in HTTP header for pages that contain UTF-16 in HTML. So, one-line fix for net.sf.sahi.response.HttpModifiedResponse2 first constructor is to check if first two bytes of HTTP data are -1 and -2 (UTF-16 identification codes)

    if (responseCode < 300 || responseCode >= 400) { // Response code other than 3xx
    boolean html = isHTML();
    boolean js = isJs();
    if (html || js){
    charset(); // set it
    final byte[] data = data();

    INSERT HERE ===> if ((data[0] == -1) && (data[1] == -2)) charset="UTF-16";

    if (data == null) {
    dataString = "";
    } else {
