Hello,<div><br></div><div>I&#39;m looking for a method of converting a string&#39;s character encoding from a certain codeset to utf-8. I know the string of Guile uses utf-8 and (read (open-bytevector-input-port (string-&gt;utf8 &quot;hello&quot;))) returns &quot;hello&quot; . But what if the string &quot;hello&quot; be encoded not utf-8 and you want to get utf-8 converted string? What I want is like iconv.</div>

<div><br></div><div>Background;</div><div>#:decode-body? keyword of http-get seems not to work properly; I should set #:decode-body? to false value and decode the contents body string manually. If a web page&#39;s charset be utf-8, there be no problem. If not, a problem occurs. decode-response-body of (web client) call decode-string with web page&#39;s charset. But real charset of bytevector is iso-8859-1, not web page&#39;s charset. If so, you should not let http-get use decode-response-body.</div>

<div><br></div><div>After getting response-body with bytevector form, you should decode it with &quot;iso-8859-1&quot; like decode-string&#39;s manner. Then you&#39;ll get web page&#39;s contents body string; it&#39;s charset is what you see in response header.</div>

<div><br></div><div>Now, I need to convert this contents body string to utf-8 but I don&#39;t know how. I think it would be with port i/o.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks.</div><div><br></div>
