           Summary: HTTP Content-Type always ISO-8859-1 under debian
                    (browsers no longer detect encoding correctly - worked
                    perfectly under redhat9)
           Product: Tomcat 5
           Version: 5.0.28
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Unknown
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
                CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


when using redhat, everything worked fine and
https://www.privasphere.com/index_de.jsp got decoded correctly by MSIE or recent
mozilla.

after moving to debian (latest stable), it no longer works:
http://bugs.privasphere.com:8443/index_de.jsp (took away ssl and compression to
make it better sniffable).
The browsers think it is ISO-8859-1 and only after a manual change to UTF-8, the
umlauts show up correctly (for one page only).

As per all the bugs referenced in
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/faq/misc.html#tomcat5CharEncoding
and the discussion in
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=tomcat-user&m=108905503431227&w=2
I did try to add 
<<useBodyEncodingForURI="true"
URIEncoding="UTF-8">>
to my server.xml with no effect.

on Redhat, my System.getProperty("file.encoding") yields ISO-8859-1
while on Debian first, it was ANSI_X3.4-1968, then I successively on the
operating system level with /etc/environments and inside the servlet init()
(System.setProperty("file.encoding", ...)), I set it to ISO-8859-1 and UTF-8 -
no effect.

Is there another way to influence the HTTP header's?
On debian, I still get
<<HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1
Content-Length: 6078
Date: Thu, 18 Nov 2004 18:35:11 GMT
Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1>>

While on the redhat server (I'll only be able to sniff without SSL tomorrow), I
suspect this to be UTF-8?
Or are there other reasons the browser could miss the page encoding albeit the
browser-view-source shows no relevant differences in the page source?

I fear that this bug gets closed invalid immediately as many before, but
hopefully, it leads to some insight that could enhance the documentation or FAQ
such that less people will not fall into this trap (so probably, this is an RFE)
