Summary0001043: uft8 used in textareas of non utf8 pages
DescriptionTop bit set characters entered in to textarea forns are sent as utf8 sequences, even if the page page specifies a non utf8 character set.

For example a pound sign entered in to a phpBB forum message form, which has charset=iso-8859-1, is sent prefixed with &A0, which can be seen when the submitted message is displayed.

The forum used in http://www.rx8ownersclub.co.uk/forum/ you will have to create an account in order to post. I've attached a zip file containing a log of creating a post on the forum congtaining a pound sign £ and the saved page is of previewing the result, showing the UTF8 prefix has been added to both the message preview and the text area.

I'm not seeing this in my testcases, which suggests it's some abnormal interaction with server-side scripting. Please provide the URL of a page which exhibits this behaviour along with a log file of the form submission which caused it.
