comment How to tell the Browser the character encoding of a HTML website regardless of Server Content-Type Header?
@initall: Thanks for your feedback again. I now did review this in more depth and added an additional answer. The AddDefaultCharset was the way to go in my case, I've compiled an answer covering this specifically, also quoting HTML 4.01 specs (as commented here). I also tested against a colorful collection of different browsers so this might be insightful.

Regarding .htaccess (sorry, this maybe should be a new question instead), is it possible to remove the ;charset=... from the http header as well. The site works very well with Content-Type: text/html, different files have different encodings on the server. (I fear this is not possible, too, because I think I did look for that some weeks ago but the outcome was not quite final). Just in case you can shed some light right ahead.

Thanks for the answer. @Korpela: Yes, I had that in memory with the HTML specs. It's exactly the other way round as I need it :(.

comment How to check if someone is using my website resources?
Check the HTTP Referer (sic!) request header. If you're lucky, it has a value that might tell you from which site the image was requested. If you like to prevent hotlinking, google for that term and .htaccess.
