IMHO, the client (the search engine bot) is confused by the parametrized mime-type. The HTTP/1.1 RFC does indeed allude to such a broken behavior: " Unfortunately, some older HTTP/1.0 clients did not deal properly with an explicit charset parameter" http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec3.html#sec3.4.1 I don't know how configurable IIS is, but the only solution I see to that would be not to send the character set parameter to the search engine bot (which should be easy to identify with its User-Agent header), while sending it to any other user agent. (user agent sniffing is usually bad, but it seems here like a fairly low level sniffing that shouldn't cause too many problems).
