However the server sends a Content-type header that requires the parser to treat the document as ISO-8859-1 or US-ASCII or something else. The need is for server administrators to allow content authors to specify content types and character sets for the documents they write. The content doesn't need to change. The authors just need the ability to specify the server headers for their documents. -- ?Elliotte Rusty Harold elharo at metalab.unc.edu Java I/O 2nd Edition Just Published! http://www.cafeaulait.org/books/javaio2/ http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=0596527500/ref=nosim/cafeaulaitA/
