[tlug] Japanese encoding

["Brett Robson" <brett@example.com>]

 

Hi all,

 

I'm confused about Japanese encoding. I've got all the literature but I'm missing something.

 

Is there any automatic translation between encoding in the standard web browser/web server model?

 

For instance, if you have a web form that accepts data, will the computer that the user is using will send data in whatever encoding that computer uses? Or the server? (I wouldn't think so) So is it true that my cgi script running on Linux Apache could receive data any practically any format?
