I am sending shift_jis multibyte characters as part of http get request to
a servlet. But from the headers I get I am not able to say what the encoding
is. I cannot always assume that the charset is shift_jis because it could
be big5 or something else in other cases. Doesnt the http request protocol
have a header saying what the encoding is?
Does anybody know?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanx
Ganesh
