Safety is getting more and more an issue these days. Normal browsers don't accept self-signed certificates any more. One possibility is to get a
certificate from https://letsencrypt.org/

Hello!

First of all, thank you for this great piece of software! For now it seems to perfectly cover our need to log very basic events, there was a
setting for everything we wanted to set.

I see the same problem exists on this board as well. Actuall it appears only the attribute fields are affected. The č character was incorrectly

it gets from the browser. When an existing elog entry gets shown by the browser, the code is translated back to the character. Why do you care what is
written to the log file? If you use scripts or so to parse your log files, you have to adapt them to correctly decode HTML encoded characters. This is

1) Could you elaborate, why the body text field CORRECTLY writes the character while the

In the attribe filed, HTML code is not allowed for security reasons. If you want to bypass this (on your own risk), put

allow html = 1

into your config file.

This tag does not change the behaviour, but I have noticed that I only have the problem in Chrome and Firefox but not in Internet explorer.
