SET_BODY_CHARSET Procedure

This procedure sets the character set of the response body when the media type is "text" but the character set is not specified in the "Content-Type" header. Per the HTTP protocol standard specification, if the media type of a request or a response is "text" but the character set information is missing in the "Content-Type" header, the character set of the request or response body should default to "ISO-8859-1".

Use this procedure to change the default body character set a response inherits from the request.
