Hi,

I'm implementing UPnP IGD (client) into my projet with miniupnp and its Python module, thanks for your work and sharing

Everything seems to work fine, but I couldn't find any documentation on the encoding supported by addportmapping desc argument: the method accept a bytestring, but I don't know what will be used on the device: for mine, latin1 seems to work, but is it standardized somewhere ? I would have expected utf-8 instead. Should I avoid any non-ascii character in description ?

Thanks

[miniupnp]

the string is passed "as is" in the XML which is UTF-8 (default encoding for XML).

OK, so I guess my UPnP router is bugged, as encoded utf-8 result in bad encoding in the web page (but latin-1 is OK here).

Thanks for you answer

To be sure there is no problem, I would advice to only use pure ASCII in description.
That is what most application do anyway
