Re^3: PerlMonks main page: garbled character encoding

Firefox shows me the HTTP header Content-Type:text/html when I'm not logged in.

The ; charset=Windows-1252 part is missing.

A check in Chrome shows the same:

OK, that would suggest that it's the server, rather than the browser, making the (weird) charset determination. In any case, I'm 99.9% sure it's not the PM Engine doing it.	[reply]

I can confirm with curl that I receive different headers from the server, depending on whether or not I send my login cookie. (I obfuscated the value of my cookie for pasting.) This agrees with what I see in Chrome's developer tools network inspection, which lists headers without a charset in anonymous/incognito, vs headers with charset in my tab where I'm logged in.
