rm Accept-Charset
As https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/HTTP/Content_negotiation
puts it,
"Considering that :
* UTF-8 is now well-supported by all relevant user-agents,
* the presence of the header increases the configuration-based entropy exposed,
* the presence of the header increases the data transmitted for each request
* almost no sites are using the value of this header for choosing content during the negotiation,
browsers started to stop sending this header in each request, starting with Internet Explorer 8, Safari 5, Opera 11 and Firefox 10. In the absence of Accept-Charset:, servers can simply assume that UTF-8 and the most common characters sets are understood by the client"
Chrome still had it, but then took it out in 2013:
