Hi all. In modules/http/http_protocol.c the comment say ap_send_error_response is used for any response that can be generated by the server from the request record. This includes all [snip] messages that have not been redirected to another handler via the ErrorDocument feature. On line 2331 I read: /* can't count on a charset filter being in place here, * so do ebcdic->ascii translation explicitly (if needed) */
It's trivial to add on line 2336 to ap_rvputs_proto_in_ascii() a string like <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> or so... but the comment about say "can't count on a charset". Anyway... with the actual code, the html generated by ap_send_error_response can't pass the W3C Validator test (with the missing meta line it would be ok). I'd like to see the html generated by ap_send_error_response to pass the W3C Validator test in the default configuration (say without using external html files for 404 and so on). The patch is trivial but I don't understand why (we) "can't count on a charset filter being in place here".
