The "Accept-Charset" request header should *never* be used to guess a charset at the server side: "Accept-Charset" is a user preference which does not know anything about charsets used by the server. If "utf-8" would not be treated with preference in the current code, the code base would see massive problems. Only the server knows which charsets it is using -- and it should use a single one (with very few exceptions). There should be a configuration option that tells this charset and this should be used to decode form data. -- Dieter _______________________________________________ Zope-CMF maillist - Zope-CMF@lists.zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-cmf See https://bugs.launchpad.net/zope-cmf/ for bug reports and feature requests
