I tried the encoding class, read the strings in byte-arrays and back to string but by now everything failed. Could someone point me to the right direction how to get this done.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Thanks in advance&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Thomas</description><pubDate>Wed, 13 Aug 2014 11:50:34 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Thomas Holste</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
