We have an old machine that has a web interface displaying data. I’ve been at this form over a week and im assuming is an issue with the age of the website but i cant do anything with the HTML that is being returned. Does it need to encoded in a different way? ![Capture](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/4/1/410e583266831c842d76e7a9dc1ab6c03997c5ce.png) ---

The two funky characters at the beginning are probably a Byte Order Mark. Skip those. ---

I’ve tried a few different ways of skipping sections of the returned html. But when I copy the printed string into the console its has a space between every character? Even after removing the whitespaces? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/f/c/fc1ca1fdabeadadfa336dd032d416c96d7af5253.png)
