International character sets and apache

[Fraser Campbell <fraser@wehave.net>]

Hi,

I am currently struggling to understand internationalization issues.  Woody's 
apache by default seems to set this http header:

  Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1

I am needing to support some websites with polish now, which requires 
iso-8859-2.  If a meta tag is set within the html it seems to be ignored (the 
http header takes precedence).

Does anyone know of a good tutorial on handling these issues, since I've spent 
most of my life dealing only with English this is pretty new to me.  Can I 
just set the default charset to utf-8?

Thanks,
