[Twisted-Python] response with special characters, utf-8

Fri Mar 28 08:00:46 MST 2003

Hello,

the rpy below returns a string with special characters, which I
would like to be displayed by the web client. However the 3 non-ascii
characters below are displayed as garbage (even if differently), in two
browsers I have tried with (IE and Safari). What am I missing?

Thanks for any help,
