            Bug ID: 55741
           Summary: Documentation is served with incorrect character
                    encoding
           Product: Apache httpd-2
           Version: 2.5-HEAD
          Hardware: PC
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: docs@httpd.apache.org
          Reporter: d...@apache.org

In Firefox 27.0a2, this page is interpreted incorrectly:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_authz_user.html

I.e., despite the XML prolog, Firefox seems to assume the page is encoded in
UTF-8, while it's actually in ISO-8859-1. I looked up what seems to be relevant
documentation from the W3C:

http://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-html-encoding-declarations#quicklookup

Given that table, it seems like the XML prolog declaration is only effective
when the document is served as text/xml. Since this one is served as text/html,
the XHTML form of inline character encoding should be used:

<meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1" />
