>Unicode isn't used very much yet (if at all), but MBCSs like Shift-JIS, >EUC-JP, EUC-KR and so on are used a lot. Stateful charsets like >iso-2022-jp are also used. I would recommend Netscape Navigator for the >client side, and Netscape's servers on the server side. Hardly surprising. Netscape Navigator could be a lot better Erik. For example, it would be very useful if it sent Accept-Language and Accept-Charset fields, and indicated the encoding of POSTed data. As it is now, any data recieved must be sniffed to figure out what it is. Not very useful on a site that could get queries in both EUC-KR and EUC-JP... even shift-jis and EUC can be mistaken. It is more than a year and a half since I pointed this out. BTW. Is there a list of charset values that Navigator recognises online anywhere.
