May be your browser have differents assumptions on what charset is valid for encoding multipart form data... For instance, all modern browsers allow customizing charsets based on the user's locale. Lastly this behavior is well-defined in RFC 2616, as the "Accept-Charset" HTTP header: "The Accept-Charset request-header field can be used to indicate what character sets are acceptable for the response. This field allows clients capable of understanding more comprehensive or special- purpose character sets to signal that capability to a server which is capable of representing documents in those character sets." just my 2 cents while watching a boring hockey game... :-) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4953> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
