RE: Setting charset in IIS headers

Yes, I've tried that. It works for a mime type other than asp, but for asps,
the asp engine sets the content type and doesn't honor what is set up in
Custom HTTP Headers.

Have you tried setting the "Custom HTTP Headers" and add your "Content-Type:
text/html; charset=xxxxxx"? Maybe they'll override the .asp mapping.
YA

Subject: Setting charset in IIS headers
 
Referencing this web page:
<http://www.w3.org/International/O-HTTP-charset.html>
http://www.w3.org/International/O-HTTP-charset.html
 
It describes a procedure for setting a charset for localized pages:
 
*  For IIS 4 and 5, in Internet Services Manager, right-click "Default Web
Site" (or the site you want to configure) and go to "Properties" => "HTTP
Headers" => "File Types..." => "New Type...". Put in the extension you want
to map, separately for each extension; IIS users will probably want to map
.htm, .html, .asp,... Then, for Content type, add
"text/html;charset=iso-8859-1" (without the quotes; substitute your desired
charset for iso-8859-1; do not leave any spaces anywhere because IIS ignores
all text after spaces). 
 
I am unable to make this work. For an asp, the web server always returns
"Content-Type: text/html", even when I define it to be something else. I
created a new extension .xyz, and managed to have it set that correctly, but
no matter what I do for "asp" it ends up as "text/html". Just curious if any
of you can help me make this work.
 
Thank you,
