Bug in Tasker When Doing HTTP Post with Unicde Text?

[Sharp E]

Hi

 

 

I created a simple Task, containing 1 Action: HTTP Post.

 

In the Data field, I entered "ABC",

and on my Desktop computer I wrote a simple program to receive the HTTP Post request.

 

It all works well, with "ABC".

 

 

But If I change "ABC" to "ABCאאא" (added 3 hebrew letters),

then when I run the task, The HTTP Post request is not sent, and instead, I get this error:

 

 

The String "ABCאאא" is 6 letters, but I assume that each of the 3 hebrew letters are converted to 2 bytes,

so we get 3+6=9.

 

 

What can I do to fix this?

Or is this a bug in Tasker?

 

 

Thank you

I think this is a Tasker bug, I was setting the content-length based on the string
character-length instead of the byte-length.

Let me know if it's not fixed next version.

Thanks,

Hi

 

Thank you very much

I will wait for the next version.

 

 

BTW it's interesting that in Android, only the special chars take 2 bytes,

and the regular chars remain 1 byte - even tho it's a single String.

 

 

In Windows, If the string is Unicode, then all its chars are 2 bytes..

Hello,

I would appreciate a fix for this as well, it completely breaks logging in to wifi hotspots automatically. When is the next release scheduled?

It's not, but you can test the fix by installing the beta posted in the forum above.
