Hi, I don't know which version you are using, but I has this problem with apache 1.3.12.
Try adding directive AddDefaultCharset off in httpd.conf I was not sure is it working as global config or no, so I put this line in every virtualhost directive too and the problem disappear. I made hard dig in apache bug reports and found some posts about this. They says that there is hard coded bug which always put charset iso-8859-1 if it is not disabled. About meta tag... this is from apache documentation read carefully the second sentence of the description :) <> AddDefaultCharset directive Syntax: AddDefaultCharset Off / On / charset Context: all Status: core Default: AddDefaultCharset Off Compatibility: AddDefaultCharset is only available in Apache 1.3.12 and later This directive specifies the name of the character set that will be added to any response that does not have any parameter on the content type in the HTTP headers. This will override any character set specified in the body of the document via a META tag. A setting of AddDefaultCharset Off disables this functionality. AddDefaultCharset On enables Apache's internal default charset of iso-8859-1 as required by the directive. You can also specify an alternate charset to be used; e.g. AddDefaultCharset utf-8. <> I think that the directive AddDefaultCharset is not "Off" by default... You can test this with telnet to port 80 and typing: GET / HTTP/1.1 Host: www.yourdomain.com and if you see in the head: ... Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 ... then the charset is not disabled.

It's not a security problem, but my apache doesn't want to show html in iso requested in <META> it's always received by browser as iso-8859-1, but it's declared as iso-8859-2. Why is that. Default char-table declared in config file is iso-8859-2. Can anyone help me? If so, please send me a solution to my private adress below Thanks in advance IronHand -- ^Oo^_.
