It very well should, but it will not if you have no language preferences set. Go to Tools->Internet Options->Languages and check. For US users, us-en should be added by default, but YMMV. -J- -----Original Message----- From: Tex Texin [mailto:texin@progress.com] Sent: Tuesday, February 19, 2002 4:18 PM To: WWW International Subject: http_Accept_charset and internet explorer Hi, I need a sanity check. I am performing experiments on browsers and http accept_charset. I have seen documentation from Microsoft that IE 5+ issues the accept_charset. However, my program never sees accept_charset from IE 5.5 or 6. The program reports its content for netscape and opera browsers. I would just presume that IE doesn't set this, except for the doc I have seen saying it does. So I am wondering if I have a bug or the doc lies, or maybe there is some condition determining whether IE does or doesn't send accept_charset. Has anyone else detected accept_charset from IE and is there some browser switch for it? tex -- ------------------------------------------------------------- Tex Texin Director, International Business mailto:Texin@Progress.com Tel: +1-781-280-4271 the Progress Company Fax: +1-781-280-4655 ------------------------------------------------------------- Find out about Globalization Empowerment for Progress users mailto:global-empowerment@progress.com For a compelling demonstration for Unicode: http://www.geocities.com/i18nguy/unicode-example.html
