Apache 2.0.47 - Content negotiation - Charset problems.

Okay, I'm running two virtual hosted sites, one of which has recently
decided to put a Japanese translation of itself up online.


My problem is that Apache doesn't serve the file in the requested
charset (shift_jis - ISO-2022-JP), it instead returns the file in the
default charset (western - ISO-8859-1) and thus this means that the user
ends up with binary instead of Japanese displayed to their screen.

If the user actively chooses the correct character charset from the view
menu, it looks fine, but until then, it displays with the default one.
However, this is unacceptable, as as soon as they refresh the page, or
click on a link, it reverts to the original character set.

The correct meta tags are already in the html, and simply opening the
pages from a local drive displays them correctly.

I've been looking through the mod_negotiation doco, but when I actually
threw up a test site with a var-mapped choice based on the prefered
language given by the browser, the same thing happened, even after I
specified the charset in the var map.


Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Cheers,
