--- Comment #9 from Franos <francois.courta...@gemalto.com> ---
Hello,

I think that in most cases the provider of a server side solution validates
their developments with a fixed list of clients (eg list of User-Agent s). In
such case we can control the response (HTTP header included) to be sent to
those clients depending of the value read from the request in the User-Agent
HTTP header.
So why Tomcat is changing a value we have set at server side and we know it
works with the list of User-Agent s  we want to support ?
More, in the tests I have performed, if the content sent to the client is
character based, Tomcat appends automatically ";charset=ISO-8859-1", for
example, with no space. So why sometimes, we have space and sometimes we
haven't ?

Yes, this is indeed the question I have.

So consider I ask for that.

Best Regards.
