Also note that regular string encodings will not (AFAIK) handle
HTML character encodings for you. To do that, you might be able to
use the functionality provided by NSAttributedString (in the
AppKit additions). Init an attributed string with your HTML data,
and then grab a plain NSString from this attributed string.
The problem is that the NSAttributedString additions methods loose
the HTML tags in the process (which is exactly what they are supposed
to do). And I need them to parse the content of the page.
Or perhaps there's functionality in WebKit to do this?
Thanks for the tip. I'll try to find something there.

I've tried to convert the string with various encoding, using :

MyString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:data

But it doesn't change anything.
You're doing unnecessary, and probably incorrect, conversions. Go
to NSData first, and then to NSString using an explicit encoding:
NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL: theURL];
NSString *string = [[[NSString alloc] initWithData: data encoding:
NSISOLatin1StringEncoding] autorelease];
Note however, that this will not solve your problem unless you
happen to find out the correct encoding to use! Don't use
NSUnicodeStringEncoding (or any other encoding) unless you're
_sure_ it's the right one!
