And now we just added HTML::Entities to the CMS and our content person just pasted HTML into the field so we are now seeing "Español " with the ñ being escaped. So now I'm off in another direction trying to find out how to only encode the characters that are giving us problems. I think I'm going to have to write a custom encoder to only encode the special characters. Thanks for your time and help, John

Sometimes they show up as boxes and sometimes they show up as this character à even though it's actually a ñ
is there a way to force UTF-8 encoding
Is there a way to force UTF-8 encoding? I have tried AddDefaultCharset utf-8 in the httpd.conf OS: OpenBSD Apache: Apache/1.3.29 (Unix) mod_perl/1.29 mod_ssl/2.8.16 OpenSSL/0.9.7g But 1) wget -S says it's Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 2) when I try the HTML validator on w3c.org it tells me that it's ISO-8859-1 3) Internet Explorer and Firefox both have ISO-8859-1 selected 4) Firefox's Page Info shows it as ISO-8859-1 Anybody know a way to force it to utf-8? : John Brahy : CIO : www.ad2.com : [EMAIL PROTECTED] : t: 310-356-7500 : f: 310-356-7520 : ad2, Inc. : 1990 East Grand Ave, Suite 200 : El Segundo, CA 90245
RE: Content Disposition header and file contents sequence...
Just as I give up and email the list
I figured out that the database wasn't returning the filename so it
wasn't able to open the file for download so when I hard coded a
filename it started working. The thing I don't understand is why didn't
I get a server error when it wasn't able to open a file...

Content Disposition header and file contents sequence...
This is the relevant part of my handler for a link that I want to force
a download for. I know it's content-disposition but for some reason I
can not get it to actually download the file. I get the download dialog
and I choose the location to save it but when I open the document it is
empty. I've tried changing the sequence of the items but it never works.
my $filename = "/usr/local/app/media/videos/downloads/preview.mov";
unless ($fileFH = Apache::File->new($filename)){
$r->log_error("couldn't open $filename for reading: $!");
return SERVER_ERROR;
}
$r->content_type('video/quicktime');
$r->headers_out->set('Content-Disposition' =>
"attachment;filename=$downloadFilename");
$r->send_fd($fileFH);
$r->send_http_header();
return OK;
