hello.
I've discovered several problems regarding charsets and langauges
set up in apache default config. Attached is the patch which attempts
to fix is. since I'm new to apache-dev I might have chagned something
which was put there on putpose, so please rewive the things, I await
your comments.
The same thing is done for 1.3 which is also attached.
I'll coment some issues briefly here:
diff -u -r1.13 httpd-std.conf.in
[..] the list is altered to reflect current order (almost)
-LanguagePriority en da nl et fr de el it ja ko no pl pt pt-br ltz ca es sv tw
+LanguagePriority en da nl et fr de el it ja ko no pl pt pt-br ltz ca es sv tw uk uk-UA
[..] I'm not sure who put there KOI8-RU but I'm certain KOI8-U is widely known
so i've moved .ua to refer to that. It may break some compatibility, though
KOI8-RU must be compatible with KOI8-U.
-AddCharset KOI8-ru .koi8-uk .ua
[..]
+AddCharset KOI8-ru .koi8-uk .koi8-ru
[..] the URL has changed
-# See ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/iana/assignments/character-sets
+# See http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets
[..] as http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets notes, UTF-* are all
uppercase so I changed that. also there were duplicate charsets for utf[78]
+AddCharset UTF-7 .utf7
[..]
-AddCharset utf-7 .utf7
If you have any comments/suggestion pleace contact me.
