Webdialog to ruby encoding issue on OSX

@ Steve
do you think the two are unrelated?

It's possible they have the same cause, but I am not sure how to prove that.

The man page for the locale command says:

 LANG         Used as a substitute for any unset LC_* variable.  If LANG is unset, it will
              act as if set to "C".  If any of LANG or LC_* are set to invalid values, locale
              acts as if they are all unset.

So the behavior you get is consistent with LANG not being set by SU when it launches a subshell. Also, if you set ENV[LANG] to a specific locale such as "en_US.UTF-8" in the Ruby Console before doing the %x, the other variables all follow.

So far as I can tell, SU doesn't launch a separate process for a WebDialog (at least I don't see one reported in Activity Monitor). I don't know what environment a WebDialog gets...can it be read from javascript?

So this only happen on OSX, not on Windows?

hi TT

did you get a chance to run this on your mac?

and did it confirm what I state, on your setup?
