If charset values in <meta> tag and Content-Type header are not equal, Portal Access prefers value from <meta> tag.
This may result in unnecessary charset conversion of page content and corruption of some characters. Some characters in rewritten page may be garbled.
This occurs if you have charset values in both the <meta> tag and in the HTTP header.
Remove <meta> tag from affected pages with iRule or modify its value to contain correct charset.
Now, in Portal Access charset detection, the value from Content-Type header has precedence over value from <meta> tag.
