Shouldn't you use the content-type of the request instead of just
forcing your own content-type? If the browser does not send a MIME type
with the request, then the default is defined to be ISO-8859-1:
"The "charset" parameter is used with some media types to define the
character set (section 3.4) of the data. When no explicit charset
parameter is provided by the sender, media subtypes of the "text"
type are defined to have a default charset value of "ISO-8859-1" when
received via HTTP. Data in character sets other than "ISO-8859-1" or
its subsets MUST be labeled with an appropriate charset value. See
section 3.4.1 for compatibility problems."
(From section 3.7.1 of the HTTP/1.1 spec).
