AddDefaultCharset should apply to application/xhtml+xml

           Summary: AddDefaultCharset should apply to application/xhtml+xml
           Product: Apache httpd-2.0
           Version: 2.0.43
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Minor
          Priority: Other
         Component: Core
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: joe@kafsemo.org


AddDefaultCharset is currently only applied to a small list of MIME types. XHTML
should also be included.

As far as I can see, this simply involves adding "application/xhtml+xml" to the
'needcset' array in server/protocol.c; ideally this array would be replaced with
configurable settings, as a number of other XML-based MIME types would also
qualify for this treatment (text/xml and image/svg, for example).

(Whilst XML may well include its charset in the header, I believe it should also
be sent as part of the MIME type; perhaps the file could be checked for the
correct encoding to declare before imposing the site's default?)
