220203 - [FIX]Server sent encoding headers ignored since Mozilla 1.5

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Networking: HTTP, defect, P2)

Description

[Robert]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20030916
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20030916

It seems Mozilla ignores encoding headers sent by web server (Apache+PHP on
Linux and Windows). If PHP page sends header "CONTENT-TYPE: text/html;
CHARSET=UTF-8" then encoding is ignored by Mozilla even if the page includes
|meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"|, result is
displaying wrong international characters. If header is changed to
"Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8" (mind the upper/lowercase differences)
then Mozilla switches to correct enoding.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. write a PHP page, starting with header("CONTENT-TYPE: text/html; charset=UTF-8")
2. for output write some ie. latin characters
3. open in browser

Actual Results:  
Browser displayed wrong characters instead of latin2 ones. Automatic page
encoding was ignored. Manual switching works.

Expected Results:  
Automaticaly display page as UTF-8 instead 8859-1.

Correction of steps to reproduce:
It seems only word "CHARSET" is ignored by that case so:
<br>
header("CONTENT-TYPE: text/html; charset=UTF-8") WORKS
<br>
header("CONTENT-TYPE: text/html; CHARSET=UTF-8") DOESN'T WORK
