Description apache.tgoeg 2022-03-22 11:25:04 UTC 
A request to the base domain of a static HTML site (implicit index.html) does not add a valid "charset=" attribute in the header, just

Content-Type: text/html

whereas a request to a file below the root *does* get a charset attribute.

AddDefaultCharset UTF-8

also does not help here, see https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=65699

This is a problem for some clients/automated tools (e.g. https://github.com/linkchecker)

Tested using

curl -v https://site
and
curl -v https://site/page
