2249.0. "How strings are sended to Web browser?" by BRADEC::bpc054.mil.brc.dec.com::takacs () Mon May 26 1997 16:39

Hallo, I am interested how strings from LinkWorks are sended to browser. In 
this 'visage' it does not work for local version. I also have a feeling, 
that in different frames there are different mechanisms (it behaves like)

Thanks

2249.1Is it possible to skip character conversion?BRADEC::bpc054.mil.brc.dec.com::takacsTue May 27 1997 16:5013
I found, that 8-bits characters are converted to HTML standards based on 
ISO-Latin-1. I also found, that character table is directly in wwwlnx. My 
suggestion:

Do not make any conversion, because supported is only Netscape Browser and 
it can show characters directly (it does not need to be any grave or 
acute). It can also speed up work. In future when it will support MSIE too, 
it will also cause no problem.

So pls try to rewrite wwwlnx. If I am wrong, let me know.

Hi Roland,

You can add the following variable to wwwlnx.cfg
conversion=<your language>

As long as substitute <your language> with something else then LATIN,
conversion will not take place. By default LATIN is assumed and conversion
takes place.
