Hi all,

I'm playing a little bit with KMyMoney software which is using libofx library for parsing OFX files. There is a problem regarding parsing OFX version 2 file and KMyMoney developers send me to this forum. 

Original post: https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kmymoney-devel/2012-January/007513.html
Whole thread: https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kmymoney-devel/2012-January/thread.html#7513 (not too long)

The problem is with character encoding. Even the OFX version 2 (XML file) has proper headers set to UTF-8, KMyMoney imports it in UTF-8 only if the file has textual headers before <?xml> tag similar to OFX version 1. 

I'm not a OFX guru, I have read the spec only for a while, but I cannot imagine, how to work with XML file, which has those special headers. How to validate that file against XSD or anything else. It looks for me a little bit strange.

Thanks a lot for any info :-)

Martin
