Argh. I even thought of that but setting it *after* the request had been
accessed (by Lift internals) appears to have no effect. I suppose there's
some caching going on there. Any possibility we could add a control to
LiftRules? Something like:
var totallyBrokenDefaultPostCharsetHandling = false
Where a false value means we automatically set the request charset to UTF-8
and a true value means that we don't touch the request. My expectation given
that we're already 9 years into the new millenium (yeah, yeah, only 8) is
that *everything* on the net would be UTF-8 unless explicitly forced to be
something else.
