"Web crawler vs special character"
Learner III
Hi,
when try to grab some german websites special charcters, i.e. Ü Ä Ö and so on, are not being interpreted correctly by the operator:
"Erste Eindr�cke vom ..."
Is there some "hidden" preference to solve this problem?

unfortunately not. The encoding is specified in the HTTP header and also in the HTML itself. This may be (and often is) incorrectly configured by the site administrator. Currently there is no way to force an encoding in RM.
Best,
