Hee hee… One does not need to imagine, one simply needs to download Gophernicus and test that feature :-D. Gophernicus autodetectes all input (US-ASCII, Latin-1, UTF-8) and re-encodes to output charset which by default is US-ASCII. This applies to all text files and generated menus (directory listings).
Reason for this seemingly stupid feature was that no client that I tested could handle my UTF-8 filenames, and I wasn’t going to change my files so changing menus on the fly was the only choice. And since I already had the code I decided to re-encode textfiles too.
