Tech Tip: Using the 'Send Extended Characters Directly' option
PRODUCT: 4D | VERSION: 6.5 | PLATFORM: Mac & Win
Published On: December 14, 2001

By default, the 4D Web server converts the extended ASCII characters in the dynamic and static Web pages according to HTML standards before sending them. They are then interpreted by the browsers.

You can set the Web server so that the extended ASCII characters are sent "as is," without converting them into HTML entities. This option has shown a speed increase on most foreign operating systems (particularly the Japanese system).

To allow the 4D Web server to directly send extended ASCII characters:
1. In the Database Properties dialog box, click on the "Web Server II" tab.
2. Select the "Send Extended Characters Directly" option.
