B4X: 
Sub GetText (URL)
ErrorLabel (errHandler)
   String=""
   Response.New1
   Request.New1(URL)
   
   Response.Value = Request.GetResponse 'This line calls the server and gets the response.
   String = Response.GetString 'Get the Response string.
   Response.Close
   Return String
ErrHandler:         
   Response.Close
   Return String   
End Sub

I'm using the webbrowser to get the response of a site.
When i'm reading the txt context i'm missing the special characters (i.e. ä,ë ö etc).

Does anyone know a workaround?
Thanks!

I'm not very good on HTTP but it will be an encoding issue. The default charset for Response.New1 is UTF-8. I guess the site uses another encoding. I think you need to use Response.New2(codepage) to set the encoding to whatever the site uses.
