yes, yes, my connection wasn't UTF-8 encoded. I 've tried

    gchar *ptr = g_locale_to_utf8(in_buff, size, &rsize, &wsize, &error);

for my data, and it works well then.

I have few questions, though:

1. where is described which encodings are legal to use in Glib::convert?
2. how to determine what is current encoding for your connection, or where it's
derived from?
3. if I used g_locale_to_utf8(), should I remove ptr, that it has returned, with
g_free()?

thanks for all responses
