Quoth Edi Weitz <edi@agharta.de>:
I'm not aware of specific offenders. Clients /should/ indicate the character encoding in the headers they send, so this is mainly a safety measure.
Understood.
If you want to experiment yourself, take a look at the "GET/POST parameter handling with ... character set" tests in the Hunchentoot distribution and look at the headers specific clients send.
Noted.
I think you should first try to do this from the command line without Emacs to see if the problem remains. This very much (lacking a detailed description) sounds like an Emacs problem to me.
That's what I thought at first... but when I realised that the problem only occurs at the load'ing stage, I realised that it has nothing to do with Emacs. Using Emacs/SLIME/SWANK to re-evaluate the code just happened to fix it, but it wasn't causing it. Anyway, the problem doesn't occur on my production box (SBCL in Debian Lenny) so it's not a major issue... something (the gods only know what) to do with... something else!
