Sorry, I forgot an important point: 3) You can override this by sending a charset= parameter to the metadata request.. Now I wonder why the heck this is not already implemented... :-) Romain ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity and more.
