[users@httpd] Re: Reverse proxy with Apache breaks my preferred charset

[Jason Voorhees <jv...@gmail.com>]

Any idea of this? I don't know why mod_proxy is forcing the UTF-8
charset even when I try to change it (to ISO-88-59-1) trough diferent
Apache directives.

Does anybody ever configured an reverse proxy with Apache using a
charset different than UTF-8?


:(
