Re: [Tclhttpd-users] Browser languages ( locale ), msgcat and tclhttpd

[Michael T. <wa...@ko...>]

Hi Ricardo,

The http client should be setting a 'Accepted-Languages' header that
contains a list of locale settings preferred by the client.  Most
clients only set one preferred locale, but the http specification allows
a client to specify multiple locales, in order of preference.  The web
server can then iterate through these locales in order of preference to
select the first one that is supported.
