Summary: Content-Type HTTP header generated twice
Product: Apache httpd-2
Version: 2.2.3
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Core
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
When serving a normal local html static page, Apache 2.2.3 under some
circumstances generates 2 consecutive "Content-type" headers with conflicting
charset attributes. Example : I have 3 similar "welcome" pages :
1) Welcome.html contains a html header line
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
2) Welcome.iso.html is the same with a different header line
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
3) Welcome.none.html is the same but does not contain such a META line.
Using perl's "lwp-request" to get the page and see what the server actually
gets as HTTP headers I obtain (except that I changed the server's hostname) :
case 1 :
dent:/var/NFS# lwp-request -m GET -Sed
http://myserver.mydomain.com/Welcome.html
GET http://myserver.mydomain.com/Welcome.html --> 200 OK

case 2 :
dent:/var/NFS# lwp-request -m GET -Sed
http://myserver.mydomain.com/Welcome.iso.html
Response : the same but the 2 Content-Type lines are now :
Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1
Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
case 3 :
dent:/var/NFS# lwp-request -m GET -Sed
http://myserver.mydomain.com/Welcome.none.html
response : only a single Content-Type line :
Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1
The server conf file contains a section :
<IfModule mod_mime.c>
AddDefaultCharset ISO-8859-1
[...]
</IfModule>
If I take out the AddDefaultCharset, then I get a first Content-Type header
with UTF-8 as the default charset, which creates browser display problems with
the pages.
But what seems to happen is that Apache, upon encountering such a <META
HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" ..> line in the html page it serves, *adds* this
content-type line to the default one, instead of replacing the default one.
Different browsers seems to react differently to the duplicate Content-Type
header.
