I am using the default apache 2.2 configuration in Fedora 7 as server

issue that I can't find any really straightforward information about.
How does one apply apache directives to web pages that are generated
by a CGI script?
I am running pyBlosxom (a python blog server) as a blog for personal
notes, I want to set the default character set for only the blog pages
to iso-8859-1 rather than the default utf-8. How do I do this?
If it was just simple HTML then I'd do something like:-
<Directory /the/directory/with/html/files>
AddDefaultCharset ISO-8859-1
</Directory>
(I think!) However I don't see how to apply this to files which are
dynamically served by a CGI script, i.e. the URL is something like:-
http://my.home.system/cgi-bin/pyblosxom.py/wiki/directory/file
What (if anything) do I put in the <Directory ....>?
Hi Chris,
Since the script is responsible for generating the document you may
embed the required charset within the <head> block and leave apache out
of it.
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
hth,
Mike Wright :m)
