<h3>Summary</h3>
|
||
|
||
<p>This module provides enhanced internationalisation support for
|
||
markup-aware filter modules such as <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy_html.html">mod_proxy_html</a></code>.
|
||
It can automatically detect the encoding of input data and ensure
|
||
they are correctly processed by the <a href="http://xmlsoft.org/">libxml2</a> parser, including converting to Unicode (UTF-8) where
|
||
necessary. It can also convert data to an encoding of choice
|
||
after markup processing, and will ensure the correct <var>charset</var>
|
||
value is set in the HTTP <var>Content-Type</var> header.</p>

<h2><a name="usage" id="usage">Usage</a></h2>
|
||
<p>There are two usage scenarios: with modules programmed to work
|
||
with mod_xml2enc, and with those that are not aware of it:</p>
|
||
<dl>
|
||
<dt>Filter modules enabled for mod_xml2enc</dt><dd>
|
||
<p>Modules such as <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy_html.html">mod_proxy_html</a></code> version 3.1
|
||
and up use the <code>xml2enc_charset</code> optional function to retrieve
|
||
the charset argument to pass to the libxml2 parser, and may use the
|
||
<code>xml2enc_filter</code> optional function to postprocess to another
|
||
encoding. Using mod_xml2enc with an enabled module, no configuration
|
||
is necessary: the other module will configure mod_xml2enc for you
|
||
(though you may still want to customise it using the configuration
|
||
directives below).</p>
|
||
</dd>
|
||
<dt>Non-enabled modules</dt><dd>
|
||
<p>To use it with a libxml2-based module that isn't explicitly enabled for
|
||
mod_xml2enc, you will have to configure the filter chain yourself.
|
||
So to use it with a filter foo provided by a module mod_foo to
|
||
improve the latter's i18n support with HTML and XML, you could use</p>
|
||
<pre><code>
|
||
FilterProvider iconv xml2enc Content-Type $text/html
|
||
FilterProvider iconv xml2enc Content-Type $xml
|
||
FilterProvider markup foo Content-Type $text/html
|
||
FilterProvider markup foo Content-Type $xml
|
||
FilterChain iconv markup
|
||
</code></pre>
|
||
<p>mod_foo will now support any character set supported by either
|
||
(or both) of libxml2 or apr_xlate/iconv.</p>
|
||

|

<h2><a name="api" id="api">Programming API</a></h2>
|
||
<p>Programmers writing libxml2-based filter modules are encouraged to
|
||
enable them for mod_xml2enc, to provide strong i18n support for your
|
||
users without reinventing the wheel. The programming API is exposed in
|
||
<var>mod_xml2enc.h</var>, and a usage example is
|
||
<code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_proxy_html.html">mod_proxy_html</a></code>.</p>

<h2><a name="sniffing" id="sniffing">Detecting an Encoding</a></h2>
|
||
<p>Unlike <code class="module"><a href="../mod/mod_charset_lite.html">mod_charset_lite</a></code>, mod_xml2enc is designed
|
||
to work with data whose encoding cannot be known in advance and thus
|
||
configured. It therefore uses 'sniffing' techniques to detect the
|
||
encoding of HTTP data as follows:</p>
|
||
<ol>
|
||
<li>If the HTTP <var>Content-Type</var> header includes a
|
||
<var>charset</var> parameter, that is used.</li>
|
||
<li>If the data start with an XML Byte Order Mark (BOM) or an
|
||
XML encoding declaration, that is used.</li>
|
||
<li>If an encoding is declared in an HTML <code><META></code>
|
||
element, that is used.</li>
|
||
<li>If none of the above match, the default value set by
|
||
<code class="directive">xml2EncDefault</code> is used.</li>
|
||
</ol>
|
||
<p>The rules are applied in order. As soon as a match is found,
|
||
it is used and detection is stopped.</p>

||
<div class="section">
|
||
<h2><a name="output" id="output">Output Encoding</a></h2>
|
||
<p><a href="http://xmlsoft.org/">libxml2</a> always uses UTF-8 (Unicode)
|
||
internally, and libxml2-based filter modules will output that by default.
|
||
mod_xml2enc can change the output encoding through the API, but there
|
||
is currently no way to configure that directly.</p>
|
||
<p>Changing the output encoding should (in theory, at least) never be
|
||
necessary, and is not recommended due to the extra processing load on
|
||
the server of an unnecessary conversion.</p>

<h2><a name="alias" id="alias">Unsupported Encodings</a></h2>

<p>If you are working with encodings that are not supported by any of

|

<p>This server-wide directive aliases one or more encoding to another
|
||
encoding. This enables encodings not recognised by libxml2 to be handled
|
||
internally by libxml2's encoding support using the translation table for
|
||
a recognised encoding. This serves two purposes: to support character sets
|
||
(or names) not recognised either by libxml2 or iconv, and to skip
|
||
conversion for an encoding where it is known to be unnecessary.</p>

<p>If you are processing data with known encoding but no encoding

information, you can set this default to help mod_xml2enc process
|

the data correctly. For example, to work with the default value
|
||
of Latin1 (<var>iso-8859-1</var> specified in HTTP/1.0, use</p>
|

<pre class="prettyprint lang-config">xml2EncDefault iso-8859-1</pre>
