CSV files and other TXT files charset encoding selection needed ( windows-1251
etc )
#2277
Comments
Thanks for your answer! When I try to open link to CSV file in Chrome it automaticly download a file with .csv extension. Chrome window stay blank. So network tab, as far as I understand, is blank too. I use plain parser in changedetection.io to work with CSV files, Chrome mode is not working with these files. |
@alfablend use curl from command line instead
try that |
it seems the server is returning the wrong information, your CSV is reported as "text/html" can you attach the CSV file? |
Thank you for explanation! |
so the file is i'm also not sure if windows-1251 is supported by any of our text difference handlers, more than likely not... |

Thank you! If I understand you right, there is general problem with non-unicode (non-latin) content. And the solution may be finding preprocessor (charset converter). Due the Wikipedia windows-1251 charset is still "the second most-used single-byte character encoding (or third most-used character encoding overall)". But, of course,it is still small percents in the scale of global internet, and, I understand, it may be not the priority task. |

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
CSV files (tables in plain text format) charset encoding selection is unsupported so content of these files may be unreadable .
Changedetection as far as I understand use UTF-8 charset for these files. The CSV files that i need to monitor are in windows-1251 charset.
Describe the solution you'd like
I need to have an opportunity to select correct chatset.
My CSV files are encoded in windows-1251 charset.
Describe the use-case and give concrete real-world examples
There are a lot of big data in CSV format. It is text format that represents the data tables by using commas or other symbols. You can see more about it on Wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma-separated_values
As text files, CSV may be encoded non in UTF-8. For example, in can have windows-1251 or koi8-r charset.
CSV files that I try to use with changedetection app are unreadable due absense of charset selection
