URL request returns empty array (JSON, PHP)

Question

I'm trying to fetch some data. I'm new to this PHP thing, JSON as well. When I print, it just gives me an empty array. Since I don't get any errors, I suppose everything else is fine.

  $request = new WP_Http;
  $result = $request->request($url, $data = array());
  $input = json_encode($request, true);
  print($input);

Have you printed out $result to see what it looks like yet? — jonbaldie

print gives me {}, print_r gives me Array{}, var_dump gives me string(2)"{}"... I don't understand what var_dump is trying to tell me? — Rasmus

I have printed $result... it gives me something like this (shortened): Array ( [headers] => Array ( [server] => ZGS [date] => Wed, 12 Aug 2015 11:02:02 GMT [content-type] => text/xml;charset=utf-8 [connection] => close [set-cookie] => Array ( [0] => 2803525351=f4606535ba1c0facda8910343cc9b6d3; Path=/ [1] => JSESSIONID=6439C6713D9D9435FB1DDE14065446E6; — Rasmus

You have to call

$input = json_encode($result, true);

instead of

$input = json_encode($request, true);

Thanks! It got me closer, and I can now see the data, but the way it spits it out is quite ugly. How can I solve this?

How does the json-encoded data look like? Please post it ;-)

I understand an issue is that there are æøå characters in the data and fields. I tried utf8_encode but no luck
