<h3>Summary</h3>
<p><code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_charset_lite.html">mod_charset_lite</a></code> allows the server to change
the character set of responses before sending them to the client.
In an EBCDIC environment, Apache always translates HTTP protocol
content (e.g. response headers) from the code page of the Apache
process locale to ISO-8859-1, but not the body of responses. In
any environment, <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_charset_lite.html">mod_charset_lite</a></code> can be used to
specify that response bodies should be translated. For example,
if files are stored in EBCDIC, then
<code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_charset_lite.html">mod_charset_lite</a></code> can translate them to
ISO-8859-1 before sending them to the client.</p>
<p>This module provides a small subset of configuration
mechanisms implemented by Russian Apache and its associated
<code>mod_charset</code>.</p>

<h3>Invalid character set names</h3>
<p>The character set name parameters of <code class="directive"><a href="#charsetsourceenc">CharsetSourceEnc</a></code> and
<code class="directive"><a href="#charsetdefault">CharsetDefault</a></code>
must be acceptable to the translation mechanism used by
<a class="glossarylink" href="../glossary.html#apr" title="see glossary">APR</a> on the system where
<code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_charset_lite.html">mod_charset_lite</a></code> is deployed. These character
set names are not standardized and are usually not the same as
the corresponding values used in http headers. Currently, APR
can only use iconv(3), so you can easily test your character set
names using the iconv(1) program, as follows:</p>
<div class="example"><p><code>
iconv -f charsetsourceenc-value -t charsetdefault-value
</code></p></div>
<h3>Mismatch between character set of content and translation
rules</h3>
<p>If the translation rules don't make sense for the content,
translation can fail in various ways, including:</p>
<ul>
<li>The translation mechanism may return a bad return code,
and the connection will be aborted.</li>
<li>The translation mechanism may silently place special
characters (e.g., question marks) in the output buffer when
it cannot translate the input buffer.</li>
</ul>

<p>The <code class="directive">CharsetDefault</code> directive specifies the
charset that content in the associated container should be
translated to.</p>
<p>The value of the <var>charset</var> argument must be accepted
as a valid character set name by the character set support in

be one of</p>

<dd>The <code>ImplicitAdd</code> keyword specifies that
<code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_charset_lite.html">mod_charset_lite</a></code> should implicitly insert its
filter when the configuration specifies that the character
set of content should be translated. If the filter chain is
explicitly configured using the <code class="directive"><a href="../mod/mod_mime.html#addoutputfilter">AddOutputFilter</a></code> directive, <code>NoImplicitAdd</code>
should be specified so that <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_charset_lite.html">mod_charset_lite</a></code>
doesn't add its filter.</dd>
<dt><code>TranslateAllMimeTypes | NoTranslateAllMimeTypes</code></dt>
<dd>Normally, <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_charset_lite.html">mod_charset_lite</a></code> will only perform
translation on a small subset of possible mimetypes. When the
<code>TranslateAllMimeTypes</code> keyword is specified for a given
configuration section, translation is performed without regard for
mimetype.</dd>
