Hi Eric, Eric,

take a look at:

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/aolserver/aolserver/nsd/encoding.c

"encoding.c" is new in AOLserver 4.0. There seems to be no downloadable
4.0 (beta) version at the moment/anymore but you can browse the CVS
repository.

The patches from Rob Mayoff offer more than what 4.0 looks right
know. 3.5 lacks "encoding.c", don't know if the undocumented ns/encoding
parameter 3.4.2 has is still there or not.
The Arsdigita patches allowed to specify the encoding on a page per page
basis, whereas the current or upcoming version will do this based on the
mime-type.

This would be _so_ fantastic. Especially some simple iso8559-x encodings.
The missing encoding support is the number one reason people still use
the ad13-patch-versions. Almost any project that needs something
different than US-ASCII (and UTF-8 databases) can not make use of
latest AOLserver developments, what is very sad, as the current
list of features and modules is better than ever.
