    text
    copied!<p>I'm currently creating a Rest client for making blog posts much in the spirit of pastie.el. The main objective is for me to write a textile in emacs and make a post to a Rails application that will create it. It is working fine until I type anything in either spanish or japanese, then I get a 500 error. pastie.el has this same problem also by the way. </p> <p>Here is the code:</p> <p>(require 'url)</p> <pre><code>(defun create-post() (interactive) (let ((url-request-method "POST") (url-request-extra-headers '(("Content-Type" . "application/xml"))) (url-request-data (concat "&lt;?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?&gt;" "&lt;post&gt;" "&lt;title&gt;" "Not working with spanish nor japanese" "&lt;/title&gt;" "&lt;content&gt;" ;; "日本語" ;; not working ;; "ñ" ;; not working either "h1. Textile title\n\n" "*Textile bold*" "&lt;/content&gt;" "&lt;/post&gt;")) ) ; end of let varlist (url-retrieve "http://127.0.0.1:3000/posts.xml" ;; CALLBACK (lambda (status) (switch-to-buffer (current-buffer))) ))) </code></pre> <p>The only way I can imagine right now that the problem could be fixed is by making emacs encode the utf-8 characters so that a 'ñ' becomes '&amp;#241' (which works by the way).</p> <p>What could be a work around for this problem?</p> <p>EDIT: '*' is not equivalent to &ast;'. What I meant was that if I encoded to utf-8 with emacs using for example 'sgml-char' it would make the whole post become utf-8 encoded. Like &ast;Textile bold&ast; thus making RedCloth being unable to convert it into html. Sorry, it was very bad explained.</p>
