As far as I understand the situation, it would be nice to have that information extracted and put in the header for the HEAD request. I don't know which type of client could benefit from this, but perhaps somebody else does. > The "charset" information is NECESSARY to interpret the > body (of text/* types) and thus MUST appear in the header. Yes, but... There are enough web admins who don't want to know anything about their servers. That means the users can't put charset info in the header. META tag is the only thing that remains, at least for text/html.
