Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.
I have checked both Precise and Trusty, and can find no windows-1252
default that you refer to. I used wget -S to see the headers returned
by the Apache server, and it did not specify a character set.
Could you
I can do the Server system, too, but right now the steps I have followed
to get the problem are:
1. install Ubuntu 12.04 desktop, or Lubuntu 14.04devel desktop (it occurs on
both)
2. install Apache2, leaving default configuration settings
3. load an html page from the server in a browser (in
The one browser is Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:25.0)
Gecko/20100101 Firefox/25.0
HTTP_ACCEPT Headers :
text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8 gzip, deflate
en,en-us;q=0.7,sv;q=0.3
The other is: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux i686; rv:25.0)
I've done a fresh installation from the ubuntu-12.04.3-server-i386.iso
image and installed Apache2. The Firefox web browser still shows that
the pages being served are encoded in windows-1252 instead of UTF-8,
which is what the locale is set to, or ISO-8859 which would be the old
standard.

I believe browsers typically try to guess. If Apache serves a page that
doesn't have any non-ASCII characters in it, then browsers can guess,
and windows-1252 would still be correct, since the document was a
strict subset of this charset.
What happens if you serve a UTF-8 encoded file? What does
If I serve a UTF-8 encoded file *AND* set the default myself in Apache,
then everything is fine. If the default encoding is left alone, Apache
serves it up as windows-1252 and then UTF-8 encoded letters come out
as garbage like this: åäöÅÄÖéÉ
As seen from the browser HTTP_ACCEPT Headers,
If the default encoding is left alone, Apache serves it up as
windows-1252 and then UTF-8 encoded letters come out as garbage like
this: åäöÅÄÖéÉ
I do not see this behaviour:

If wget is not seeing the wrong encoding then it may be a problem with
Firefox instead.
However, the steps to reproduce are
1. install Ubuntu 12.04 desktop, or Lubuntu 14.04devel desktop (it occurs on

2. install Apache2, leaving default configuration settings

Sorry, your test case involving Firefox isn't sufficient to determine
validity of a bug in Apache. What is Apache actually sending to Firefox
in your case?

It looks like the problem is Firefox then. If no default is set, then
it sends wget 'Content-Type: text/html'. If the default is set to
utf-8, then it sends wget 'Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8'
