Regarding the configuration problems with Apache, I think the main culprit is the configuration file httpd.conf, as shipped with the distribution. This contains: >>>>>>>> # # Specify a default charset for all pages sent out. This is # always a good idea and opens the door for future internationalisation # of your web site, should you ever want it. Specifying it as # a default does little harm; as the standard dictates that a page # is in iso-8859-1 (latin1) unless specified otherwise i.e. you # are merely stating the obvious. There are also some security # reasons in browsers, related to javascript and URL parsing # which encourage you to always set a default char set. # AddDefaultCharset ISO-8859-1 >>>>>>> I have filed a bug with bugzilla, asking that this default setting be removed or commented out, and the comment fixed, at http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23421. You may want to vote for that bug. I have commented on a related bug that I found, at http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14513. Regards, Martin.
