Lukas,

Regarding codepage support one question arises: is this duty of Swazoo 
or  is it better for a web framework to deal with?

I have a feeling that it will be hard to make a general codepage support 
on Swazoo level (http request parsing) because of lack of knowledge 
about meaning of request/response data. Web frameworks have that 
knowledge while web server alone not enough IMHO. But we can provide 
some support on a http response level. Framework can switch on an UTF-8 
conversion for instance. But then again, a framework can do that alone 
too. What do you think?

Best regards
Janko
