Bug#277526: apache2-common: mods-available/proxy.conf AddDefaultCharset off
Package: apache2-common
Version: 2.0.52-1
Severity: wishlist
When using apache as proxy with ProxyRequests On, all response through
its proxy will add charset set by the apache configuration.
It's not good idea. When browsing WWW though the proxy, we can't assume
all pages use same charset. If charset of actual page and charset of
proxy's apache configuration differs, we'll got bad result.
I think "AddDefaultCharset off" is reasonable default in <Proxy *>
in proxy.conf like:
<IfModule mod_proxy.c>
#turning ProxyRequests on and allowing proxying from all may allow
#spammers to use your proxy to send email.
ProxyRequests Off
<Proxy *>
AddDefaultCharset off
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
#Allow from .your_domain.com
</Proxy>
