Perhaps the servers that parse these headers are > also case sensitive? No server parses any <meta> tag. <meta http-equiv> is always a fake! Especially, you cannot set the Content-Type with such a meta fake: http://www.unics.uni-hannover.de/nhtcapri/meta-http-equiv.1 http://www.unics.uni-hannover.de/nhtcapri/meta-http-equiv.2 RFC 2616 requires that you specify the encoding (charset parameter) in the HTTP header. Read http://www.w3.org/International/O-HTTP-charset who to do this with various server software. You need to do this for CSS files, anyway. http://www.unics.uni-hannover.de/nhtcapri/bom.css
