Description:
Since 4.1 the api function mysql_character_set_name returns the collation name instead of character set name.

Note: got a timeout on port 80 when submitting this bug, so maybe it's a duplicate)

How to repeat:
printf("Charset: %s\", mysql_character_set_name(mysql));

Output:
latin1_swedish_ci

instead of latin1
