Tomcat 4.1.29 changes the content type set by the user by appending an charset, even though no charset has been specified.

           Summary: Tomcat 4.1.29 changes the content type set by the user
                    by appending an charset, even though no charset has been
                    specified.
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.1.29
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Blocker
          Priority: Other
         Component: Catalina
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: jboekemeier@inetsoftware.de


Tomcat 4.1.29 changes the content type from application/XXX to application/XXX; 
charset=<nonsense>.  This breaks existing applications.  Such a change is not 
appropriate in a minor version change from 4.1.27 to 4.1.29.

Furthermore 4.1.29 changes the content type from text/html to text/html; 
charset=YYY even though the charset has explicitly NOT been set (we use the 
meta tag to set the content type).
