#188 Impossible to set encoding for ns_sockopen

No
When working with the openacs xmlrpc package I
noticed that when posting data using ns_httpopen
which calls ns_sockopen the data is encoded in
iso-8859-1 although I have set the following
parameters:
ns_section "ns/parameters"
...
ns_param HackContentType 1
ns_param URLCharset utf-8
ns_param OutputCharset utf-8
ns_param HttpOpenCharset utf-8
ns_param DefaultCharset utf-8
I would have expected and needed the posted data to
be encoded in utf-8.
Is this a bug in aolserver or am I missing some way to
manipulate the encoding?
Tested on Aolserver 4.01 on Linux.

I suggested this to Tilmann on the AOLSERVER mailing list:
foreach {rfd wfd} [ns_sockopen $host $port] break
fconfigure $wfd -encoding utf-8
puts $wfd "some data"
He later confirmed that this does indeed work.
