Hi Christian, I've opened a bug to track this if you have any further details you'd like to attach:

http://code.google.com/p/gears/issues/detail?id=604

Hi Christian, thanks for telling us about this issue. Do you have some more details on the OS you are using and what version of Firefox? Possibly the error could be related to configuration of your webserver. What web server are you using?

Hi,

i struggled into an error using httprequest.responseText. when the responseText contains special characters like the german umlauts äöü the responseText is empty!

it does not work if i set the encoding of my content-type (text/plain) to Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 ISO-8859-1 should be able to understand my chars. Would this be possible using another content-type or is it just a gears bug?

IE7 and IE Mobile do not show this behaviour using httprequest.

greetings
