Re: CStdioFile::ReadString in a Unicode build
To be more accurate, the Unicode version of CInternetFile::ReadString()
seems to expect a UTF-16 encoded stream. Don't expect it to expect HTML and
decode the charset advertized in the header of the file (or any encoding
sniffing strategie). These APIs are not supposed to be that smart.
BTW, there seems to be a bug in this function: Even though it reads UTF16
charaters, it detects CR and LFs as ASCII chars!
I don't bother to make the test but I'd bet that a cyrillic letter ??
(U+040A) would be mistaken for an end-of-line (its 0xA low byte would be
mistaken for a \n).
My 2-cents,
Serge.

Single-stepping into the code is very revealing. This works because Read
reads raw bytes
without any attempt to process CRLFs, expand to Unicode (or not), etc.

The code below works also in a Unicode build. But I'm still wondering
why the ReadString() verson didn't do it.
CInternetSession session;
CStdioFile* pFile = session.OpenURL(m_strURL);
int count;
char buffer[BUFSIZE];
if(pFile)
{
m_strSource.Empty();
while(count = pFile->Read( buffer, BUFSIZE - 1))
{
buffer[count] = '\0';
m_strSource += buffer;
}
}
pFile->Close();
delete (pFile);
