Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Progress 4GL Reference

HTML-CHARSET attribute

The Progress version (as opposed to the MIME version) of the code page name of a Web request. Set by Progress when a WebSpeed application incorporates dynamic code page support. The default is blank.

Data type: CHARACTER

Access: Readable/Writeable

Applies to: WEB-CONTEXT system handle

Once Progress sets HTML-CHARSET, each time a Web browser sends a Web request to the application:

When the request is received by the WebSpeed Agent, Progress converts it from the HTML-CHARSET code page to the Agent’s CPINTERNAL code page.
When the Agent responds to the request with a Web page, Progress converts the Web page from the Agent’s CPINTERNAL code page to the HTML-CHARSET code page.

Caution: If the application modifies the contents of HTML-CHARSET, dynamic code-page support might fail.

For more information on dynamic code-page support, see OpenEdge Application Server: Developing WebSpeed Applications .
