See line 730 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf. Why? I can't speak for Red Hat, but I for one support the move away from the various, and rather limited, ISO-* character sets to the much broader UTF-8 standard. For one thing, it's now the default shell environment on RHEL/CentOS boxes. For another, it's (for me, at least) a better output format for XML -> HTML transformations, especially those that contain non-Latin characters like those in the Greek alphabet. -- Paul Heinlein <> heinlein at madboa.com <> www.madboa.com
