(setf hunchentoot:*hunchentoot-default-external-format* hunchentoot::+utf-8+)
Damn! This time it is making a difference :) Thanks. I tried setting this variable (without success) when I wrote to this list about the evaluation-versus-load'ing oddity a while back: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.lib.tbnl.general/2523 I was also told: "As explained in the documentation, the special variable *HUNCHENTOOT-DEFAULT-EXTERNAL-FORMAT* is used when computing the /request/ object. As you said, it doesn't have an effect on the reply." Hence I didn't try it again this time round. If it's only used to compute the request object, why is it now helping with (some of) my UTF-8 replies?
