For instance, when I browse a local file it is seen as ISO-8859-1 encoding, text/html MIME type. Is that what you see from the Apache-served file? If not, the httpd.conf file might be the place to start. The version of Apache you are running might be an issue. I am out on a limb here since I don't run Web servers for a living. But, if in looking at the actual source of the file (I mean at a shell, using od or xxd, rather than post-Mozilla), you see that the file clearly contains spaces (0x20 ASCII), and not some other wackiness, the server is obviously to blame. (Well, it *seems* obvious to me, but someone more informed may have a different, and probably better, take on this.) -- Paul W. Frields, RHCE
