The current beta versions of our Mozilla applications (Firefox 8 / Seamonkey
2.5) do not send the HTTP Accept-Charset header any longer.
This confuses e.g. our Webmail system (Horde/IMP) which uses this header (if
available) to determine if the browser can handle UTF-8.
Does anybody know if there is a rationale behind this change
or is this perhaps "just a plain bug"?
AFAICS it was removed because it allows fingerprinting, and is not
supported by IE (or all other browsers?). Please note that I did nothing
more than read the initial comment of the following bug; please have a
read yourself for more information. Please also note that this was a
platform change, i.e. nothing was changed for SM in particular but all
Gecko-based applications.
