Solution

  • You are passing the request to a proxy. In this case Headers and Charset are set by the proxy. Set the proper encoding at your Proxy Application. You can override existing charset with: override_charset on;

    charset utf-8;
override_charset on;

    if you want to set the source charset too:

    source_charset koi8-r;
