It is intermittent - sometimes I see english characters, as expected. Sometimes, i see some junk characters - right now getting normal english characters, so cant show a sample of the junk. But this is definitely happening with this page - over the last 3 days off and on...

Will send the garbled example if and when it happens again.

Thanks
Anand

Can you define "garbled"

Hi,

I am not sure this is the right place for this issue, so please redirect me if there is a better forum.

I have been loading the wikipedia page for India programmatically as part of testing my project. It was working fine, until recently. Now, most of the time (but not always), loading it gives me garbled content. 
Other pages on wikipedia work fine both programmatically and from the browser. 
This particular page also loads fine from my browser (safari on mac) - 

but when I load it programmatically (using curl or open-uri from mac-os x), the content is garbled. 

I am using a user agent, but don't know what changed.

I tried closing the bar on top which appeared recently (Jimmy Wales message), but even without that bar, it seems to be garbled.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
Anand
