[mohiddinb]

Hi all,

I need to know the charset of the browser from which the request is coming for encoding pupose.
I have tried things by getting them in the HTTP request but there i am getting only the accepted charsets,that is set of encodings like (utf-8,shift-jis,iso-8859-1) like this

but i need to know exactly what is the charset of the brower so that i can decode them in to the required format before showing the responce

I am very thank ful if any body helps me in this and Thanks in Advance.

Welcome to TSDN!!

Whenever you need to do ANYTHING, the first place you should go is to CPAN to search for a module to do your task.

If you go over there and search for "browser" it returns about 951 pages. Well, going through those, you will see many things related to browser. In one of the pages, I followed a link to HTTP::Headers which has mention of "content_encoding" which may be what you want, but cannot be sure without testing it.

Hopefully that is what you are looking for.

Jeff

Thank you Jeff

Thanks for your valuable suggestion,
But JEFF i think this encoding is different from the charsets,
But i guess can i get it by using the cgi module i tried but i was unable to find a way ,So if you know Please guide me and once again thanks for your reply.
