[users@httpd] Apache 2.0.50 adds UTF-8 in header by default even though AddDefaultCharset is Off.
Hello!
I have Apache 2.0.50 setup in a Debian system.
I have tried commenting and setting AddDefaultCharset Off, but the UTF-8
encoding is still added for the Content-Type header unless I explicitly set
it in a CGI, etc.
My static text and HTML files are ISO-8859-1 encoded, the system has no
UTF-8 locales installed and I've commented all AddCharset except the
ISO-8859-1, so how can Apache still add the header?
I have checked the mime control file, it contains no encoding information at
all.
Is there any way to turn this behaviour off?
Also, it only adds the header if I make a HTTP 1.1 request, for 1.0 requests
the Content-Type header is not added.

Nevermind. Turns out that this was due to a Debian package included from the
main config that set AddDefaultCharset globally when it shouldn't have. I
was unaware of this package setting things like that and I have filed a bug
report to that package maintainer to remove any global settings from the
config.
