I'm trying to imagine a case where this is wrong. So, if have a CGI script where the stdout could have one a couple of different encodings based on a web client's language preference settings, but, where the CGI program is running in a "C" or "en_US.utf8" locale, this might count. But presumably, any snarfing would have been done before the CGI program reset its stdout locale before displaying its output web content. Would that violate your presuppositions? -Mike
