[pmwiki-users] name a page Gb or GB makes encoding chinese issue (fastcache recipe involved)

[Petko Yotov]

I suspect this is the Apache "content negociation" feature which thinks 
a file named *.gb is in the GB2312 encoding, so you may need to 
configure it.

See/try the solutions provided here:

   http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/content-negotiation.html (check your 
Apache version)
