Converting HTTP Header Values To UTF-8 In ColdFusion

Read Original

This technical article details a solution for handling character encoding issues with HTTP headers in ColdFusion. It addresses a problem where Cloudflare's geo-location headers (CF-IPCity, CF-Region) are encoded in ISO-8859-1 instead of UTF-8, causing incorrect display of special characters. The post provides a CFML script using `charsetDecode` and `charsetEncode` functions to convert these values to UTF-8, complete with a practical test example.
