[Seaside] download content & encoding

[Sebastian Sastre]

Hi Johan,

if you deal only with ASCII, you are okay

the problem is seen when you have this:  
diacritics + uft8 encoding + excel

what happens is that excel opens the utf8 file with all the diacritics mangled.

Example:
"Descrição" is shown by excel as "Descrição"

I've tried the BOM header but it doesn't work on office for mac so I've just ecoded it in CP1252
