I don't agree. It would be better all around if everything passing over the wire is passed as utf-8. The server should get out of the business of handling local character sets. The Unicode Foundation supplies conversion tables from just about every character set on earth to Unicode, and translation of Unicode to utf-8 is simple and mechanical. I suggest that all character code translation be handled on the client side as part of the client library. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Transform Data into Opportunity.
