Hi!

The HTML pages on http://tomcat.apache.org/ are served with the
following HTTP header:

Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8

This happens both with US and EU mirrors (verified with "wget
--save-headers") and
it contradicts with our generating the pages as iso-8859-1.

The noticeable effect is that the "(c)" symbol in the page footers
appears as broken "?".



Looking at how our Changelog pages deal with this, as they have
accented European
characters in some patch contributor names, I followed Tomcat 7.0
example and changed
output method in tomcat-site.xsl as s/xml/html/.  Among other
differences it makes the (c)
symbol to be encoded as © instead of printing it as a character.

Revisions 1182736, 1182744, 1182745.


Maybe there are other ideas how to deal with this bikeshed, but now
the issue seems solved.

It might be that this encoding issue will be observed on other parts
of the website as well.

Best regards,
Konstantin Kolinko
