Re: New Apache Server Instance Test Page Garbled

Rich Loeber skrev:
Hello list.

I've just set up a new server instance in Apache and started it. Most of
the values are based on the default Apache server that comes with the OS. When I start the instance and go to the default index page .... I get
something that looks like this:

㱨瑭...

These are HTML renderings of characters not renderable in the current character set.

Just for fun I took the two word values and converted to hex:

3c68 and 746d

Considering each byte as a value by itself, a very interesting pattern is seen when looking up the values as ascii characters:

3c = <
68 = h
74 = t
6d = m

which most likely is the beginning of the underlying file in the filesystem.

Would you have any idea why this file was considered to contain double byte characters?
