Hi i'm trying to Fetch data from the internet in flutter and as long as all characters in response.body are English everything is fine but i get these results with persian/arabic characters.
Link to page i'm testing this with: http://mobagym.com/media/mobagym-app-info/farsi.html (I've also tested it with other urls and my api got the same results)
This is my code(I've also tried showing the result in a Text Widget):
static Future<String> loadFarsi() async{ final response = await http.get("http://mobagym.com/media/mobagym-app-info/farsi.html",headers:{"charset":"utf-8","Accept-Charset":"utf-8"}); print(response.body); return response.body; } I've tried Remove the headers and still no luck.
final response = await http.get("http://mobagym.com/media/mobagym-app-info/farsi.html"); This is my log from android studio:
Performing hot reload... Reloaded 7 of 507 libraries in 1,333ms. I/flutter (23060): <html> I/flutter (23060): <head> I/flutter (23060): <meta charset="utf-8"/> I/flutter (23060): </head> I/flutter (23060): <body>سÙا٠سÙا٠Ùر٠اÛپسÙÙ</body> I/flutter (23060): </html> This part is wrong: سÙا٠سÙا٠Ùر٠اÛپسÙÙ
Though something like this is the actual text: سلام سلام لرم ایپسوم
Testing on Android Phone Xperia z3 plus ( Android 6.0)
Using Android studio : 3.1.2
Using flutter : flutter_windows_v0.3.2-beta
Result showing the text in a text widget:
606
The web server's Content-Type header is Content-Type: text/html. Note that isn't including a charset suffix. It should be saying Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8. The package:http client looks for this charset when asked to decode to characters. If it's missing it defaults to LATIN1 (not utf-8).
As you've seen, setting the headers on the Request doesn't help, as it's the Response that does the decoding. Luckily, there's a simple fix. Just decode the bytes to String yourself like this.
Future<String> loadFarsi() async { final response = await http.get("http://mobagym.com/media/mobagym-app-info/farsi.html"); String body = utf8.decode(response.bodyBytes); print(body); return body; } If you love us?
