I just wanted to know if there is any existing category or any sort of function that will return me NSStringEncoding constant out of NSURLResponse object .
The issue I am facing at the moment is as I have hardcoded the encoding to NSUTF8StringEncoding when I convert the web service response data to String then it actually causes an issue , as my web service sometimes returns the response encoded in UTF8 and sometimes encoded in ASCII ( well I am not too sure about all the encodings though but yes there are sometimes other languages characters in the response like Japanese , Chinese etc )
So My idea is to have a category on NSURLResponse that detects the encoding and returns eg .
NSURLResponse * response = // NSURLResponse object ( web service response headers )
NSData * responseData = // NSData object ( web service response data )
NSStringEncoding encoding = [response stringEncodingUsed];
NSString * responseText = [[NSString alloc]initWithData:responseData encoding:encoding];
