(resending, as the original message didn't reach all the recipients)

Yes, I am also seeing this error. I am using Firefox 3.6.

It occurs only with EU mirror of the site. The US mirror is running fine.

http://tomcat.eu.apache.org/
http://tomcat.us.apache.org/

More than that, the error is intermittent: refreshing the page I get

a) "Invalid Encoding" error
b) misrendered page (site search box is aligned to the left border of
the screen) (probably the stylesheet failed to load)
c) correctly rendered page


>From an error page footer I see that the EU server runs Apache/2.3.5,
while US one uses Apache/2.3.3

Apache/2.3.5 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.3.5 OpenSSL/0.9.7d mod_fcgid/2.3.2-dev
Server at tomcat.apache.org Port 80
Apache/2.3.3 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.3.3 OpenSSL/0.9.7d mod_fcgid/2.3.2-dev
Server at tomcat.us.apache.org Port 80
