(WebSpeed only)
The ABL version (as opposed to the MIME version) of the code page name of a Web request. Set by ABL when a WebSpeed application incorporates dynamic code page support. The default is blank.
Data type: CHARACTER
Access: Readable/Writeable
Applies to: WEB-CONTEXT system handle
Once the AVM sets HTML-CHARSET, each time a Web browser sends a Web request to the application:
- The request is received by the WebSpeed Agent. The AVM converts it from the HTML-CHARSET code page to the Agent's CPINTERNAL code page.
- The Agent responds to the request with a Web page. The AVM converts the Web page from the Agent's CPINTERNAL code page to the HTML-CHARSET code page.
CAUTION: If the application modifies
the contents of HTML-CHARSET, dynamic code-page support might fail.
