  +    <p>When Apache issues a redirect in response to a client request,
  +    the response includes some actual text to be displayed in case
  +    the client can't (or doesn't) automatically follow the redirection.
  +    Apache ordinarily labels this text according to the character set
  +    which it uses, which is ISO-8859-1.</p>
  +    <p> However, if the redirection is to a page that uses a different
  +    character set, some broken browser versions will try to use the
  +    character set from the redirection text rather than the actual page.
  +    This can result in Greek, for instance, being incorrectly rendered.</p>
  +    <p>Setting this environment variable causes Apache to omit the character
  +    set for the redirection text, and these broken browsers will then correctly
  +    use that of the destination page.</p>
