Bug Description
'text/plain' attachments are served with charset ISO-8859-1 even if they are UTF-8 (the common case). Here is an example:
https:/
the output looks corrupted, unless the viewer manually overrides their browser Encoding. Additionally even providing the '; charset=UTF-8' suffix on the attachment edit page:
https:/
does not serve it as UTF-8. Ideally:
Launchpad Librarian should default to UTF-8 for textual attachments
Launchpad Librarian should respect and pass through the '; charset=' suffix as provided.
Header example:
wget -q -S https:/
Content-Type: text/plain
