[users@httpd] Add charset in depend of meta tag
Hello,
is it possible in Apache 2.0.54 to add the charset to the header only, when
there is none in the meta tags of the served page? Or to send the charset
of the page?
The threads "Russian page not displayed properly in Apache 2.0" and "meta
http-equiv useless??" suggest no, the answer therein is:
either use AddDefaultCharset or have the correct charset specified in a meta
tag of all pages.
Actually, I don't want to do neither of them, but apply utf-8 to all pages
without a meta tag, because I re-publish pages I do not control. Is there
some module for it possibly?
I stumbled across something called "Mod_charset", but in the conjunction
of "Russian Apache" and PHP only.
Thanks,
Steffen

Apache doesn't look inside the page for <meta>.
If that's a problem, you can use a parsing module like mod_proxy_html
or mod_publisher. They'll look for a <meta ...> if there's no
charset declared in the HTTP headers, and ensure the correct header
is sent.

mod_charset_lite just converts between charsets, and needs to be told
the "to" and "from" charsets in httpd.conf. AFAIK mod_charset is
similar, but check its page: maybe it can sniff nowadays.
