I just performed this same test on a NetXMS v1.2.12 server and agent that were built with Unicode support.
I used the same bash script:
locale
echo 'asdf æøå ÆØÅ qwerty'
Here is the result of executing this script manually in a shell:
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_US:en
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
asdf æøå ÆØÅ qwerty
This is what I would hope to see. The Norwegian characters appear correctly.
Here is the result of the NetXMS agent executing these same commands on the same machine via the "ExternalList" mechanism (I generated this output with nxget -l ...)
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_US:en
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
asdf
This is bad. The echo output is still truncated at the first non-ASCII character.
So just compiling NetXMS with Unicode support does not seem to fix this problem, at least according to my test here.
Is there anything else I can try?
