Answer 1

Here is your issue solved.

Based on this source,

UTF-8 character debugging and its encoding and decoding

The response you are getting is the actual charecter of the encoded utf-8 string

So, you need to decode that inorder to get your result.

HEre is the code to do it.

    decoded =  decodeURIComponent('%C3%A0%C3%9F%C3%A9%C3%A7%C3%B8%C3%B6')

    console.log(decoded);

   The result is => "àßéçøö"

we have to do this to get the actual string instead of UTF-8

So, from your response you got,à Ãéçøö

decodeURIComponent(escape("à Ãéçøö")) => "àßéçøö"

DEFINITION:

decodeURIComponent():

• A new string representing the decoded version of the given encoded Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) component.

So , here is your method.

if (status == 200) {
    var original = headers("charttitle");
    var chartTitle = decodeURIComponent(escape(original));
    console.log(chartTitle);
    var printoutInformation = {'chartTitle' : chartTitle, 'pdfData' : data};
    deferred.resolve(printoutInformation);
}

Now, you will get the headers same as you send.

Try below for encoding

myAngApp1=document.getElementById("ItemSearch"); var uri = myAngApp1.value; var place = encodeURIComponent(uri)
