Eric, We have created a patch for 3.4.2 with the encoding changes from AD+13:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=570072&group_id=315 2&atid=303152 We use AOLserver 3.4.2 with this patch in production in a Linux environment, but we do not exercise the full range of encoding functions - we only serve and receive UTF-8 encoded content. We have not looked at porting this patch to 3.5 yet, and probably won't for at least a few months. On the general topic, we are certainly in agreement that the handling of character encoding in "stock" AOLserver is woefully inadequate for internationally oriented applications, and the release notes for v3.5 do not suggest that this has been corrected. We are fervently hoping that international character encodings (particularly UTF-8 encoding) will be better supported in v4.0 , but I can't recall any specific comments from the AOLserver development team on the topic of encoding in spite of multiple postings by a variety of users...which makes me very afraid that this is not on the v4.0 feature list. I would, of course, be happy to receive clarification to the contrary. :-) Eric ........................
