Ajax request with Japanese characters

[nuthan kumar]

Hi,
I am facing problem while submitting AJAX request with Japanese charter, in target page Japanese characters are not coming properly.
I am using below code to send Ajax request.

 oXMLHTTP.open("POST" ,sURL,false);
		oXMLHTTP.setRequestHeader("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
		oXMLHTTP.setRequestHeader("charset", "UTF-8"); 
		oXMLHTTP.setRequestHeader("Content-length", sParams.length);
		oXMLHTTP.setRequestHeader("Connection", "close");
		oXMLHTTP.send(sParams);   

variable sParams contains Japanese characters.

I'm afraid there is something called "charset" as request header value. Try setting "Accept-Charset(Content-Language = Response header)" and/or "Accept-Language" instead.

I tried with "Accept-Charset" setting, still no luck

Most of the time when I have encoding issues, it is because the server is not properly setting the headers for the content or the characters are not encoded correctly.
