If it's too inconsistent to automate, there's no really good solution. mod_xml2enc nearly does what you want: it'll sniff the encoding from the <meta> if the server doesn't set charset. If you just chop out the libxml2 detection (xmlParseCharEncoding) it'll do exactly what you need. Alternatively you can use it together with a libxml2-consumer module like mod_proxy_html, which both deals with the charset issue and offers explicit <meta http-equiv> support. -- Nick Kew --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
