Then why is it at all possible to set the encoding ? it should not be needed and there for should not be possible. The fact that such a call exists suggests to me that calling it repeatedly would have some effect (granted - it will slow the performance, but that is as expected) - I would prefer the request implementation reparse everything when I supply new character set information - taking it sweet time to do it (I'm probably only going to do this once per request) - rather then just ignore me. The fact is, if you get at the request too late in the process, where the character set has already been set (wrongly), theres nothing you can do to rescue the data, and many times I've had that problem. -- Oded ::.. -- Members of an avian species of identical plumage congregate. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
