RE: [RFI] octstr_recode

Yeah, this is because we use the character conversion functions
from libxml. I have a different version based on iconv that
behaves more sane.

Problem: iconv is not guaranteed to be portable (e.g. to Win).

Subject: [RFI] octstr_recode

 
I'm trying to use the octstr_recode function to convert a MO message
from UCS2 to
ISO-8859-1 or UTF-8
 
I was thinking in trying to recode to ISO-8859-1 if possible, otherwise
convert to UTF-8
and set coding acordly.
 
I thought that if the text couldn't be translated to ISO-8859, 
octstr_recode (octstr_imm("iso-8859-1"), octstr_imm("UTF-16BE"), text))
would
return false and I could switch to 
octstr_recode (octstr_imm("utf-8"), octstr_imm("UTF-16BE"), text)
 
but the first recode converts my %06%4A to a ي and returns ok.

May I search for &#xxxx; in utf16-be to iso8859-1 and reject it,
switching then to utf8 ??
