If you want ISO-8859-1:
- be sure you really want ISO-8859-1, strictly speaking ISO-8859-1
does not even include the Euro symbol but most browsers are not that
picky
- use ISO-8859-1 both on the web page and in Squeak (this avoids many problems)
- implement the #charSet method in your session class and return 'iso-8859-1'
- use WAKom

- if you use Squeak 3.10 or 3.9.1 be sure to update to Seaside 2.8.1
- remove the #charSet method from your session class (use the one from
WASession, 'utf-8')
- WAKom stop.
- WAKomEncoded startOn: thePort
