Thanks. Looking back, it is 2068 and 1945 also, I just had a mental blind spot, thinking I understood the header formats from email-land, where they are more required to be ASCII, as mentioned in my reply to James. UTF-8 is the default for FORM DATA when using multipart/form-data encoding, using the POST method. Otherwise, it FORM DATA is limited to ASCII. Per http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#h-17.13.1 which is HTML 4.01 (and maybe earlier, but I didn't go back further). Nice to quote chapter and verse (or link) when declaring that something is in a standard. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
