Don't ask me why; I just know that my experience is that mojibake happens on some Japanese sites with the default configuration of Firefox 3.5 or 3.6. Perhaps it's a bug in Firefox, but I think it's more likely that folks are setting default charsets incompatibly with ErrorDocuments. Either way, it happens. The point that you're avoiding is that in fact ErrorDocument literals *do* pick up their charsets from the config file, and therefore that charset cannot be "decorrelated" with the output charset in some circumstances. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
