stringWithContentsOfURL bug?

Hi,

I am not sure if this is a bug, but I'm really getting tired of experimenting here, maybe some of you can point me towards the obvious direction :D

Here's what I'm trying to do:
I have some data on a webserver in MySQL databases, so I wrote a PHP script that loads the relevant data, and creates a long string that formats the data in good old plist format. Then I print this out.


I try to access the string using the stringWithContentsOfURL: method (which I have used in quite some projects already, so I already know this should work). When my string is short, maybe 5 lines when displayed in Safari, the string gets loaded fine.
Like this:
<dict><key>Category</key><array><dict><key>category_id</key><string>1</ string><key>category_name</key><string>Finder</string></ dict><dict><key>category_id</key><string>2</string><key>category_name</ key><string>Mail</string></dict><dict><key>category_id</key><string>3</ string><key>category_name</key><string>Safari</string></dict></array></ dict>


But when I add a longer string, suddenly I get garbled data, with NSLog() only outputting the

ã

character. The strange thing is, that wether I use NSString's, NSData's or whatever else's methods it won't work on any of them. But Safari displays it right, and if i copy it from safari and save the text in TextEdit and name it something.plist it opens up just well in the Property List Editor.

Any ideas what might be causing this or do you have a better way of getting data from a MySQL table on the web to a local plist file?

thx,

Ben
