290076 - in ChatZilla I can't DCC-chat using non-ASCII characters. Needs support of non-unicode charset.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 281172

(Other Applications :: ChatZilla, defect)

Description

[Shutdown]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050401 Firefox/1.0.3

In CZ is impossible to change charset for DCC-chat.
Charset changes in *client* tab doesn't effect on DCC-chat tabs. Even if
DCC-chat session will be opened after charset change in *client* view.
Silver (or somebody else) have fixed this problem in one of the nightbuilds in
CZ 0.9.67
http://twpol.dyndns.org/mozilla/chatzilla/nightly/xpi/chatzilla-0.9.67-dcc-prefs-2005020416.xpi
DCC-chat was working fine in windows-1251 codepage (I've tested it with
mIRC-chat client)

In CZ 0.9.68a problem appears again.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.just start DCC-chat session
2.begin to speak using non-ASCII characters (in cyrilic)


Actual Results:  
other side will never see the same characters as were in input (broken
unicode-->current charset of *client* conversion)

Expected Results:  
CZ should convert characters as it shoul be :)

To get encoding support for dcc chats, dcc needs preferences. When those
preferences arrive, charset will be one of them, according to bug 281172.
