Overview Description: 
 A document with a META element that has an 'http-equiv=Content-type' for a 
 charset that is not 'iso-8859-1' causes the document to be fetched twice from 
 a web server. Hopefully, it is possible to avoid the server round trip, since 
 the document should already be in the cache from the initial request. 

 Not sure who owns this (HTTP, Cache, i18n, Parser, etc.)

Ex. (from darin): http://status.mcom.com/~darin/test-meta-charset.html

<html>
<head>
<meta content="text/html; charset=windows-1252" http-equiv=Content-Type>
</head>
<body>
 this page comes to you with a charset specified in a meta tag.  
 it may load twice!
</body>
</html>


Steps to Reproduce: 
1) Load that page; look in the server logs or set breakpoints appropriately

Actual Results: two HTTP 200 OK appear for that document

Expected Results: if feasible, use the document that was just downloaded

Reproducibility: 100%
