How do I stop charset being set in the HTTP headers of a Railo application?

Question

I am using Railo 3.0 for a web application (setup exactly the same as this excellent guide). I have a CFM page that serves up some old HTML files using the cfcontent tag. This content is in various character sets (all defined as meta tags in the HTML). The problem is that all my CFM pages are getting sent out with UTF-8 set in the HTTP response headers, and this overrides anything defined in the HTML. The pages therefore get displayed incorrectly in the browser.

How can I stop the charset being sent in the HTTP headers for CFM pages?

Notes: I've removed the AddDefaultCharset entry from the default Apache config, and this means that static HTML pages are now served without any charset in the header, however this didn't help for CFM pages - AddDefaultCharset is bad, bad, bad

Answer 1

what charset are you trying to send the pages out as? you can force the charset of the page a couple of ways:

<cfprocessingdirective pageEncoding="windows-1252">

<cfheader name="charset" value="windows-1252">
