I have an app that uses a call to the Wininet.dll's InternetOpenUrl API
function to retrieve HTML from web sites. My problem is people using an
Asian language setting end up getting irregularly formatted HTML (sprinkled
with tabs, spaces and question marks). One user confirmed that if he
changes the page encoding in Internet Explorer from "Chinese Traditional
(Big5)" to "Western European (ISO)" it fixes the problem but of course he
doesn't want to have to do this. I would think that there would be a flag I
can set in the API call to set the encoding to English but all my looking on
the web has yielded naught. Does anyone else know of a possible solution?
