PATCH: Tomcat 4 - Walkaround for Netscape Navigator's charset misrecognition

This is a walkaround patch for the Netscape Navigator's the following
problem:

  If a Web server sends a redirect reply (302) with charset, Netscape
  Navigator 4.x misrecognizes Web page's charset as the redirect
  header's charset, not the Web page's charset.

For example, Tomcat 4 redirect a GET request (http://localhost/) to
its index page (http://localhost/index.html). The current Tomcat 4
replys with "charset=utf-8", Netscape Navigator can't display
Shift-JIS pages correctly.
