    The URL

    http://www.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/NormalizationTest.txt

    appears to be served as type text/plain with no charset parameter. That is,

    Content-Length: 2053905
    Keep-Alive: timeout=15, max=100
    Connection: Keep-Alive
    Content-Type: text/plain

    However, that file's contents seem to be UTF-8. Shouldn't this be changed to

    Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8

    or some such?
