Forum OpenACS Q&A: Response to howto run 3.2.5 with European characters on nsd8x

I had the same problem as David. In my case it depended from the fact that ReturnHeaders was been modified to handle Latin characters appending to it:
ns_startcontent -charset "iso-8859-1"
This arrangement doesn't work with images and so, to get portraits displayed I had to call a non modified version of ReturnHeaders.

This is clearly a temporary solution, because you have to find out the occurrences where you need to call the standard ReturnHeaders.
