The problem is two fold:
- $Conf{ClientCharset} represents what the XferMethod delivers, not
necessarily what is actually on the clien. For example, smb by
default it will deliver utf8 encoding, so $Conf{ClientCharset}
is set to utf8.
- I don't know how charsets work with win zip format files. Is the
encoding included in the file? Is it just interpreted using the
local charset when you extract? I don't know. Can anyone help
here?

Yes, unfortunately the charset can't be set via CGI.
You can, however, do it from the command line.
