Package: apache2 Version: 2.4.1-3 Apache is one of the few things in Debian not configured to use UTF-8 by default. Considering that UTF-8 has been the default encoding for four releases already, GUI stuff doesn't really support ancient locales anymore and there's talk about dropping them from glibc as well, changing this in Apache is long overdue. The transition to 2.4 seems like a good time for such a change.
It's a quite visible sore spot too: like half of even Debian's servers get the encoding wrong on text/plain files, mangling people's names, etc -- so even if the Debian crowd has trouble getting this right, what can be said about an average admin? If every single file on the system is in UTF-8, I see not a single reason to use something else. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-apache-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
