When the log file contains "€" I want to see "€" on the screen, and not the interpretation of that tag. Thanks for reminding this, so not only the "<" and ">" have to be translated, but the "&", too. I guess, it would be a "&&". > And what is the charset for a raw log in the first place? Are you sure, the > browser displays this correctly? No need for that. When I know that my browser assumes the data to be in a specific character set, it will show them as if they were in that character set, and when something strange appears on the screen, I know that some other charset was meant. When the browser interprets the HTML tags, I have never any chance to learn any Charset commands in the log, which confirms, that all "<", ">" and "&" have to be escaped, getting the browser to show them instead of interpreting them. No, the charset of the frame where the log file is being shown is the same as the screen, which is probably Latin-1, or whatever. I want the log file to appear identical as possible as the actual data in the log file, so everything which could be interpreted as a command to the browser should be changed, so that the actual command is being shown, and not interpreted. > > But like I said - as long as there remains an option to get the pure data > via the sysadmin interface, I don't have a problem with it. You always will see it thru a browser, and not thru a plain text or hex editor. And getting that is difficult, since Sambar prevents other processes to view the file, and I also don't see a way to breakpoint the log file, so that I can look at the closed part while Sambar continues to run and writing in the actual log file.
