Error description
Shift_JIS (Japanese) is displayed causing character destruction.
Implementation of suppress-error-charset setting for IHS 2.0.x,
to match the behavior of that setting in IHS 1.3.x and
Apache 1.3.x is needed.
Local fix Problem summary
Third-party module was using an API to set
the HTTP response document to non-ISO-8859-1 text.  The API has
no provision for declaring the actual charset of the response
document, and IHS always set the charset to ISO-8859-1.  There
was no provision for specifying that the charset is actually
something different.  Meanwhile, Apache 1.3 and IHS 1.3 had a
suppress-error-charset setting to avoid setting the charset to
ISO-8859-1.  In that case, as long as the response document
contained tags to declare the proper charset to the browser, it
could be displayed properly.
Problem conclusion Temporary fix Comments
This issue was resolved by providing a
suppress-error-charset setting as with Apache 1.3 and IHS 1.3.
The 
PK07831 cumulative update to IHS 2.0.42.x and IHS 2.0.47.x
contains this suppress-error-charset setting.
