Hello,

I'm writing a CGI web service that returns XML in accordance with a specification which mandates Content-Type: application/xml;charset="utf-8" in the HTTP Header.

Content-Type: text/plain works fine.

But

Content-Type: application/xml;charset="utf-8" causes the stream to get scrambled before being returned to the browser.

What is the secret to getting the encoding right?

-Nathan.
