encoding on the browser and sverver

we have 6 words to discuss:

Accept-Language

Accept-Charset        (that two words is  attributes of a request header )

requestEncoding

responseEncoding

fileEncoding

culture                    (that four words is  attributes of globalization in webconfig )

 

i found no webbrowser send Accept-Charset attibute of request header to server. so i dont discuss it.

 

Accept-Language : i can get the attribute to know what html encoding context can be sent to client.

 

requestEncoding, responseEncoding,fileEncoding, culture  : see from msdn:

 

fileEncoding	Optional attribute. Specifies the default encoding for .aspx, .asmx, and .asax file parsing. Unicode and UTF-8 files that are saved with the byte order mark prefix are automatically recognized, regardless of the value for this attribute.
requestEncoding	Optional attribute. Specifies the assumed encoding of each incoming request, including posted data and the query string. If the request comes with a request header that contains an Accept-Charset attribute, it overrides this attribute in the configuration. The default encoding is UTF-8, which is specified in the globalization section in the Machine.config file that was created when the .NET Framework was installed. If request encoding is not specified in a Machine.config or Web.config file, encoding defaults to the Regional Options locale setting for the computer. In single-server applications, this attribute and the responseEncoding attribute should be the same. For the less common case (multiple-server applications where the default server encodings are different), you can vary the request and response encoding by using local Web.config files.
responseEncoding	Optional attribute. Specifies the content encoding of responses. The default encoding is UTF-8, which is specified in the globalization section in the Machine.config file that was created when the .NET Framework was installed. If response encoding is not specified in a Machine.config or Web.config file, encoding defaults to the Regional Options locale setting for the computer. In single-server applications, this attribute and the responseEncoding attribute should be the same. For the less common case (multiple-server applications where the default server encodings are different), you can vary the request and response encoding by using local Web.config files.
uiCulture	Optional attribute. Specifies the default culture for processing locale-dependent resource searches. For valid culture strings, see System.Globalization.CultureInfo. This attribute can also be set to auto.
