SOAP / xmlrpx / DOM - encoding

Hello to all!

I want to send data over network via tclsoap (xmlrpc)
(Version 1.6.7, tcldom 3.0 tclxml 3.0) and want to have
nonprintable and other non us-ascii characters converted to their xml-entity
i.e.:

ä => ä or ä

If tclsoap receives an character-entity it is decoded to it's correct character by
'dom::DOMImplementation parse'

But for sending data, tclsoap uses 'dom::DOMImplementation serialize' and here only few special
chars are converted to their entity (i.E. '&' => &#amp;).

Is it posible to configure 'dom::DOMImplementation serialize' that other non us-ascii/non printable
characters are also converted?

Here an example:

package require dom
set doc [dom::DOMImplementation create]
set d_root [dom::document createElement $doc "root"]
dom::document createTextNode $d_root "öäü&"

dom::DOMImplementation serialize $doc

Output is
------------------------------------
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<!DOCTYPE root>
<root>öäü&</root><?xml version='1.0'?>
------------------------------------

But I would like to have
------------------------------------
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<!DOCTYPE root>
<root>öäü&</root>
------------------------------------

Thanks for all ideas!

Matthias

It should not be needed as the default encoding for XML is utf-8, but if =

you change the encoding of the XML, you may get the conversion you want.
