mp2: how to take out the default charset append?

[Foo Ji-Haw <jh...@nexlabs.com>]

Hallo Markus,

Thanks for the tip. I really needed to get that off.

Please help me with one more related question: if I am to simply use 
$r->content_type('text/html'), the final render to the client comes with 
';charset=8859-1' appended to the header. Is this the result of Apache, 
or mod_perl? Is there any way I can just render Content-Type: text/html 
without a character set in the header?

You've probably got

 AddDefaultCharset 8859-1

in your apache config, ("On" == "iso-8859-1")change it to:

 AddDefaultCharset Off

See:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/core.html#adddefaultcharset
