Question
How can I change PmWiki's default charset or Content-type?
Answer
The content-type that PmWiki uses defaults to "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1;" for a variety of reasons. However, a wiki administrator can change the default content type or charset type by adding an entry to $HTTPHeaders in local/config.php. For example, to change the content type to text/xml, the administrator can do:
$HTTPHeaders[] = 'Content-type: text/xml';
Or, to change the charset to iso-8859-5:
$HTTPHeaders[] = 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-5;';
Note that changing the header generally means that the <!DOCTYPE ...> and other header declarations in the layout template should be changed to match.
