Hello,
Web browsers send user's language preferences using
"Accept-Language" HTTP header. There's an additional header "Accept-Charset".
You can use request.getHeader("Accept-Language") and
request.getHeader("Accept-Charset") to detect these.
In servlet, use response.setContentType( "text/html; Charset=UTF-8" );
For examples and more information, you may want to refer to
http://www.servlets.com/jsp/examples/index.html
and chapter 12 of "Java Servlet Pages" from O'Reilly.

> How does netscape recognise the encodings??
> Is it based on the headers only or the whole buffer is analysed??
