Requirements
Description of the Change
Added the ability to specify the Encoding parameter to choose between ASCII or UTF8 encoding. If the parameter is not specified, ASCII will be used by default. Specifying this parameter is important when the message text contains non-ASCII characters. Without it, the received message may be displayed incorrectly. For example, the text might be displayed as "?" characters.
Usage example:
Send-SyslogMessage -Server hostname -Message "Test" -Severity Alert -Facility local0 -Encoding UTF8
This command will send a message using UTF8 encoding.
Testing
The tests verify the correct encoding of non-ASCII characters after converting back to text.
Associated/Resolved Issues
Wrong non-ASCII chars in messages.
