[Koha] koha sip2 character and connection problem.

12 Feb 2016

      Hello

For our Koha library software, we installed koha SIP2 tool for RFID. In
SIPconfig, we configured encode=utf-8 for Turkish characters "ş,ı,ü" etc.
It works well at the beggining. However we hear from our customers. In
logs, we see result messages of sip2 with errornous characters after
configured 5-10 hours.

there is "?" in message. it must be "ı"

my config file is;

<acsconfig xmlns="http://openncip.org/acs-config/1.0/">
<!-- above address gets nothing, it's just a namespace -->
  <error-detect enabled="true" />

<!--
  Set Net::Server::PreFork runtime parameters

  <server-params
    min_servers='10'
    min_spare_servers='5'
    log_file='Sys::Syslog'
    syslog_ident='koha_sip'

  <accounts>
      <login id="sip24" password="test" delimeter="|"
error-detect="enabled" institution="24" encoding="utf8"/>
     </login>
  </accounts>

<!--

<institutions>
        <institution id="60" implementation="ILS" parms="">
            <policy checkin="true" renewal="true" checkout="true"
                   status_update="false" offline="true" timeout="100"
                   retries="5" />
    </institution>

What the connection-corrupt error and character errors can be?  what should
we do? is it bug? thanks.
