When a certificate contains UTF-8 characters, like non-English names, the Distinguished Name that is returned to the Web server (if we export the SSL_CLIENT_S_DN header) encodes the binary characters (\x..). Is this mandatory ?

This is very ennoying because the applications would have to parse the string to transform it to real UTF-8.

What could be done ?
Could we suppress the conversion ? Or maybe is it need for the logging in ASCII ?
Could we add a conversion right before exporting headers (in mod_header) ?

Thanks,

Marc
