The bug seems to be in the jigsaw code - since quoted parameter-values
are a valid MIME construct. i.e., text/plain; charset="foo-bar" is a
VALID
content-type header.

org.w3c.jigsaw.servlet.JigsawHttpServletResponse.getWriter(...)
should remove the quotation marks before attempting to call the
OutputStreamWriter constructor. It doesn't seem to be doing that.
