HTTP Client Breaking

I have an HTTP Client to retrieve certain data. Everything works well except when the returned data contains special characters. For example if it contains characters such as '\n' or '©' it seems to break because the property HTTPClient.responseText is null even though if I check the address on a web browser I do get some response with these special characters.

Is this a bug? Or is there a workaround for this?
Any help is appreciated

Update

This behavior only occurs on iDevices, Android works properly. Anybody have any ideas???

  • Can you provide a sample of the returned string( of course with the part that breaks the httpclient)?

    • You can find part of the response text here. The only symbol that messes it up is the copyright symbol. But since I am accessing this data I can't change it from the serverside. Also, the other text is similar the part of the string that breaks it contains \n in it.

    • PS. The pastie code is formatted, but it is obviously returned without any breaks or anything.
