I mentioned it in my first note: > or simply a missing DefaultCharset directive And as for whether always adding a charset is appropriate or not -- that was decided, and not recently, as the answer to the cross-site-scripting issue. We provide a means of *always* specifying a charset, and the www.apache.org server was doing so -- at least for a while. Now it is not. As for Draconianly specifying "; charset=iso-8859-1" on anything that doesn't have one.. so specify something else as the default, or whomever the 'lazy programer' is should get off the glutei and explicitly associate the appropriate charset with all the content-types for which the default is not appropriate. But don't assume omitting it is a Good Thing, *especially* for .html files, because it ain't. :-) Too bad Daedalus' httpd.conf isn't in CVS; maybe it should be. -- #ken P-)} Ken Coar, Sanagendamgagwedweinini http://Golux.Com/coar/ Author, developer, opinionist http://Apache-Server.Com/ "All right everyone!
