Summary

Garbage characters in Winsock protocol

Error

Garbage characters in Winsock protocol. Winsock script working fine on 9.52 version but showing garbage characters in 11.xx version.

Cause

Version 9.52 and 11.xx use a different engine for Winsock protocol.

Fix

In 11.52 version engine has changed to provide correct use of non-English characters, according to locale. That may cause some garbage to appear, if some symbols were unable to fit current locale. In WinSock protocol this behaviour can be reverted  to the 9.52 version. Going to Recording Options – Encoding method – use ASCII encoding.
