The default httpd.conf includes the lines AddCharset ISO-8859-1 .iso8859-1 .latin1 AddCharset ISO-8859-2 .iso8859-2 .latin2 .cen AddCharset ISO-8859-3 .iso8859-3 .latin3 AddCharset ISO-8859-4 .iso8859-4 .latin4 AddCharset ISO-8859-5 .iso8859-5 .latin5 .cyr .iso-ru AddCharset ISO-8859-6 .iso8859-6 .latin6 .arb AddCharset ISO-8859-7 .iso8859-7 .latin7 .grk AddCharset ISO-8859-8 .iso8859-8 .latin8 .heb AddCharset ISO-8859-9 .iso8859-9 .latin9 .trk
However, quick look at http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets shows that calling the non-latin charsets ISO8859-N by the name latinN is wrong. For example, latin8 is ISO-8859-14, or iso-celtic, and certainly not ISO-8859-8, which is just hebrew! Similarly, latin6 is ISO-8859-10, and not ISO-8859-6, which is arabic! Finally, latin5 is ISO-8859-9, turkish, and not ISO-8859-5, which is cyrillic. latin1-4 are ok, and I didn't find latin7 in this reference at all. I suggest httpd.conf should be fixed accordingly. -- Dr. Zvi Har'El mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Department of Mathematics tel:+972-54-227607 icq:179294841 Technion - Israel Institute of Technology fax:+972-4-8293388 http://www.math.technion.ac.il/~rl/ Haifa 32000, ISRAEL "If you can't say somethin' nice, don't say nothin' at all." -- Thumper (1942) Sunday, 19 Kislev 5764, 14 December 2003, 3:03PM
