[erlang-questions] UTF8

[Dustin Whitney]

Yeah, that worked thanks!  I had tried what you did, but it did not work
with the UTF-32 data.  Do you know why?  And how do you suppose my data was
turned into UTF-32.  I got the data originally from an HTTP GET request that
returned a UTF-8 encoded XML file.  The file its self says it's UTF-8, and
the header tuple said the document was using the UTF-8 charset.  Does Erlang
convert the data automatically?
Thanks!
