[Freeipa-devel] [PATCH] 0048 Decode HTTP reason phrase as iso-8859-1

[Fraser Tweedale]

Happy new year, all.

The attached patch fixes a unicode decode error triggered in some
locales, which causes failure of installation (and probably other
oprations, if locale is changed under an existing server).

Subject: [PATCH] Decode HTTP reason phrase as iso-8859-1

The HTTP reason phrase sent by Dogtag is encoded in iso-8859-1; use
this charset instead of utf8 when decoding it to avoid decoding
errors when characters > 127 appear.
