Hi,
I'm on CentOS 5.2 with the last Apache 2.2.3
It's configured like a proxy cache for a lan (caching internet)
What i expect?
A fully transparent proxy!
the request URL : www.clubic.com
Thru Apache the title is : Clubic : Informatique et Multim�dia
Without the proxy : Clubic : Informatique et Multimédia
Much, much better.
Now we have something to start with.
I accessed the original site, using Firefox 3.1 with the HttpFox
extension. That allows me to see what my browser sends as a HTTP
request, and to see what the server answers, including the HTTP headers.
(If you are using IE as a browser, a comparable extension is called
Fiddler2).
The request was :
(Request-Line) GET / HTTP/1.1
Host www.clubic.com
User-Agent Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.1b3)

In other words, the original server is not sending a "charset" along
with the Content-type response header. That is not very good, but the
default should be iso-8859-1.
In the html page itself, there is a line saying :
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />
(That, I see when viewing the "source" text of the page, in the browser).
Now, to compare with what your proxying Apache is doing, you should use
a browser with one the extensions above, call the same URL, and compare
the response you get from your Apache proxy, to the response above
(without proxy).
Note on my earlier response :
It may well be that there is some kind of problem in Apache's proxy
module, or cache module, or a misconfiguration.
But the point is, without knowing what you are really doing, it is
impossible to give you any useful information.
Also, when you just say that you "use Apache as a proxy", it is not very
indicative. Apache can be used as a forward proxy (like you are doing),
or as a reverse proxy, for example to a back-end Tomcat server.
And only as such a reverse proxy to Tomcat, there are 3 different ways
(and 3 different modules at the Apache level) in which this can be done.
