The legacy backend still accepts only ISO-8859-1. Problem: Users enters login data in the front end, back end doesn't understand when login data contains german umlaut or other characters with a encoding different between UTF-8 and ISO-8859-1. First attempt (accept-charset="ISO-8859-1") seemed to work ... but after 2 days we learned that all users where happy with that ... except IE users ... fixed it with your tip ... thx a lot :-) You saved my day :-)
