Hi,

I think I have uncovered a bug in gdata api - if the retrieved blog (or an entry) has non-ascii characters in it, the getTitle().getText() returns a garbled string on IE (its fine in Firefox). I had experienced the same issue in my own internal requests, fixed simply by adding a content-type=utf-8 header to json responses. Without this, IE assumes the encoding as windows-asii or whatever. I can reproduce the problem in IE7 as well as IE6.

I hope this issue can be fixed in gdata quickly? else I might have to write a toUtf8 converter in javascript, which would be messy and slow.

Many thanks Amit

Thank you for bringing this to my attention Amit. Could you file an issue so that I can keep you updated?
