I can add headers all day long, but I can't overwrite that one. I've

It seems that you're probably having trouble w/ the charset, not the actual "content" of the Content-Type header. Apache actually treats these differently, if I understand things correctly. This is sort of supported by the existence of this module for Apache 2.0: http://webauthv3.stanford.edu/manual/mod/mod_charset_lite.html
but more specifically I seem to remember a flag in Apache which can turn off the sending of the character set by default. *rummages through several servers* Ah Ha! There is a directive that you can enable to send the default character set for any document, "AddDefaultcharset on". This is settable at most any config-file level. More details can be found here:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/core.html#adddefaultcharset
Setting this to Off should prevent Apache from forcibly adding that, against your will. I had to chase this information down once when migrating a site from one server to another, where the settings were different. The charset being incorrectly interpreted had allowed a particular user to become quite sloppy, but it didn't show up until the charset wasn't being set precisely correct.


Good luck and let us know if it helps!
