Hi,

I am using CGI::Application together with CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication.

As "Store" I use "Session", which basically means that CGI::Application will set a cookie on the client after an successful login.

All of this works fine so far.

But now I want to add an HTTP-header to tell the client that the response is UTF-8 encoded.

I have tried to set it in a cgi_prerun-method like this: 

sub cgiapp_prerun {
 my($this)=@_;

 $this->header_add( -type => "text/html; charset=UTF-8");
}

[download]
This for itself also works but unfortunately (I have traced it), for some reason I don't understand it breaks the cookie-setting (no cookie is sent to the client) and so the whole authentication-system.

I have also tried to set the header with header_props but the result is the same.

Can someone help me here?

Many thanks!
