This method assumes that your browser understand
Content-Type: type; charset=name
HTTP header as described in
Internationalization of the Hypertext Markup Language (RFC 2070)
(f.e. Netscape or
Internet Explorer does).
Your browser needs to know about
KOI8-R chararter set itself too, of course.
The server uses
Content-Type
answer field
to inform your browser about document character set.
For Russian KOI8-R character set documents it will be:
Content-Type: text/html; charset=koi8-r
When your browser comes across this header line, it displays the document using KOI8-R character set and font.
To check if your browser support this method, set its default encoding to ISO8859-1 or Western and try to load this example, then you'll see Russian text if this method is supported or some cryptic text, if not supported. This test also check for HTTP over META bug.
If you run Apache HTTPD, you can easily tune it to support this specification.
