Well, I can't see how you webserver was behaving before forcing UTF-8 content type. You can use the following commands to check that: wget -S -O /dev/null http://debian-med.debian.net/tasks/index 2>&1| grep Content-Type Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 wget -S -O /dev/null http://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/tasks/ 2>&1| grep Content-Type Content-Type: text/html http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#adddefaultcharset tells that AddDefaultCharset Off should work. try to Retry and check the configuration is taken into account. -- Simon Paillard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
