[Nagiosplug-devel] check_hpjd swallows non-standard ASCII characters

[Zoltán Kovács]

Dear Developers,

I started to use Nagios with the check_hpjd plugin in a production
environment. Everything works well, I was even able to add some new OIDs to
get additional information from the printers.

The problem I noticed is that check_hpjd swallows international accented
characters. The printers we use are set to Hungarian and we would like to
show all messages in Nagios (of course) in Hungarian. The check_hpjd plugin
converts e.g. "é" to ".", i.e. all non-standard ASCII characters are
converted to a period.

I would be very grateful if someone could help me how to fine tune this
behaviour to preserve the accented letters in their original form.

Thank you in advance,

Zoltan Kovacs
