Title: sympa_soap_client.pl and special characters

Nicely spotted!  UTF8 is a nightmare.

 

This might be necessary in some other places, too.  Definitely happens in 6.1.x, is 6.2 also affected?  I think a lot of these functions were rewritten in 6.2

Hi,

i wrote a bash script to add subscribers to a list from a csv-file.
Works fine with the commands add, setDetails and setCustom.

However, there is a problem with special characters such as "umlaut marks" with add and setCustom commands.

Soap-command add:
sympa_soap_client.pl --trusted_application=soapapp --trusted_application_password=...pwd --soap_url=http://listen.bakarasse.de/sympasoap --service=add
--address@concealed --service_parameters=test5,address@concealed,Jürgen\ Adrian

calling authenticateRemoteAppAndRun( soapapp, detailspwd, address@concealed,add,test5,address@concealed,Jürgen Adrian)

    ''
result: gecos is wrong

this change in List.pm, sub createXMLCustomAttribute, gives me the special characters back:

-        $XMLstr .= "<custom_attribute id=\"$k\"><value>".&tools::escape_html($custom_attr->{$k}{value})."</value></custom_attribute>";
+        $XMLstr .= "<custom_attribute id=\"$k\"><value>".Encode::decode_utf8(&tools::escape_html($custom_attr->{$k}{value}))."</value></custom_attribute>";





Thanks,
Alex
