[users@httpd] Problems with encoding(?)

Hello!

I have been running my old web server (with apache 1.3.x) for years, but
now it is time to build a new box.

But, I ran into a problem:
I tried moving my wifes page over, and I get encoding problems. Below is
a copy of the header.

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="sv"> <meta
http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>Min Sida</title> </head>

But, when I serve this page with my old web server, It works. With the
new it does not.

I used a tool I found  (
http://www.thinkhost.com/services/generators/headers-check.shtml ) to
see what happened.

Old server: 
HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Sun, 01 Oct 2006 07:32:03 GMT Server:
Apache/1.3.34 (Debian) PHP/4.4.0-4 mod_fastcgi/2.2.10 mod_ssl/2.8.25
OpenSSL/0.9.8a mod_perl/1.29 Last-Modified: Sat, 25 Mar 2006 05:53:29
GMT ETag: &quot;8b8e-ef8-4424dad9&quot; Accept-Ranges: bytes
Content-Length: 3832 Connection: close Content-Type: text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1

New Server:
HTTP/1.0 200 OK Date: Sun, 01 Oct 2006 08:00:33 GMT Server:
Apache/2.0.55 (Debian) PHP/5.1.6-1 mod_ssl/2.0.55 OpenSSL/0.9.8c
Last-Modified: Sat, 30 Sep 2006 22:14:20 GMT ETag:
&quot;57aac-ef8-41eb318268700&quot; Accept-Ranges: bytes Content-Length:
3832 Connection: close Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8

Now, I suppose I could use AddDefaultCharset, but that would most likely
break a lot of other pages.

How can I make sense out of this?

Check what AddDefaultCharset is already set to on each server.  I bet
you can "fix" the problem by commenting it out on the server sending
UTF-8.
