What character encoding is being used by the AMPS clients?

AMPS clients only enforce encoding for header fields. They do not enforce any particular encoding in the message data.

The amps protocol encodes headers in UTF-8 by default.

For legacy protocols, the fix and nvfix protocols encode in ISO-8859-1 by default, while the xml protocol encodes in UTF-8 by default.

60East recommends that any new development use the amps protocol.
