charset settings via meta tag are not transmitted correct in apache 2.0.x

           Summary: charset settings via meta tag are not transmitted
                    correct in apache 2.0.x
           Product: Apache httpd-2.0
           Version: 2.0.47
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Blocker
          Priority: Other
         Component: All
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: gullevek@gullevek.org


I used the following Apache 2 versions: 2.0.40-21 from RedHat 9, 2.0.40-11.5
from RedHat 8.0, 2.0.47-6 from Rawhide on a RedHat 9, 2.0.47 on a Gentoo 1.4.
They all create the same problem.
I used the following HTML file [Shift JIS with Japanese Text in Shift JIS]
--- HTML
<html>
<head>
<title>TEST</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=SHIFT_JIS">
</head>

<body>
これはシフトJISです
</body>
</html>
--- HTML

When this page (as HTML or PHP if PHP is compiled in) is viewed via an Apache 2,
it does not set the Shift JIS Codepage, but uses the default Western 8859-1
Encoding and produces Mojibake. With an Apache 1.3.28 compiled and installed on
the same boxes they all could create the correct header and switched to Shift JIS.

Output from lynx -mime_header http://localhost/test.html (apache 2.0.47 on
Gentoo 1.4):
