Bug#668858: doesn't use UTF-8 by default

thanks

Assuming the report is about adding default charset UTF-8 to requests,
this will yield incorrect charset information for many files in the
archive. Stefan shown that.

Default is now not to send any charset in headers. It's up to the browser
to choose one. Browsers sometimes fail to detect UTF-8, that's true. But this
is a problem in the browser. Sending sometimes wrong information might help,
but this is not the proper way to fix things.

I'm now tagging your bug "wontfix".

Please report a bug against your browser if unicode auto detection does not
work. In iceweasel 10, this might be related to Default Character Encoding
(Preferences/Content/Font & Colours (!)/Advanced/Character encoding); or
make sure UTF-8 is first choice in View / Character Encoding / Customize list.

If you whish to reopen that bug, please give details about expected behavior.
