Content Type not being changed to UTF-8 when set in the JSP 

           Summary: Content Type not being changed to UTF-8 when set in the
                    JSP
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.1.18
          Platform: Sun
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: Jasper
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: joshua.kumar@wipro.com


I am using a JSP which has the following header
response.setHeader("Content-type","text/html; charset=utf-8")
response.setContentType("text/html; charset=utf-8")
Even the <@ page ContentType > directive does not work.
This is not setting the content type to UTF-8 . I have greek and Latin 
characters which are to be displayed in Tomcat4.0.6 when I am using the 
following html META tag.
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

But in Tomcat4.1.18 . It is not rendering the characters properly . 

The above problem does not occur with Tomcat4.0.4 also. 
Is there a fix for this in Tomcat4.1.18 or can we take it as bug till a 
resolution is found.
