Out of some reasons it was screwed up when I got it in ascii mode, in
binary mode there was no problem. I had the same strange behavior more
often with different servers so I was doubting my memory about ascii and
binary mode, but obviously I got the theory right and it must be something
wrong with these http servers. BTW, do html-pages in Japanese have to be
uploaded in binary mode in general?  The other day it would screw up
everything with ascii but not with binary. I think the days before it was
ok in ascii, but who knows, my memory ...
