I have already tried that and it didn't change anything. I think this fi=
eld is only meant for the client to understand which kind of encoding it=
 can use.

>From http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html#adef-accept-charse=
t:

"accept-charset =3D charset list [CI]
    This attribute specifies the list of character encodings for input d=
ata that is accepted by the server processing this form. The value is a =
space- and/or comma-delimited list of charset values. The client must in=
terpret this list as an exclusive-or list, i.e., the server is able to a=
ccept any single character encoding per entity received.

    The default value for this attribute is the reserved string "UNKNOWN=
". User agents may interpret this value as the character encoding that w=
as used to transmit the document containing this FORM element."

I don't know it it is even useful...
