Any way I can force the IIS to send the page in the charset I want when
there is no accept-charset in the request header (something like default
charset option in the server)?
Click to expand...

It's not the IIS that sends the charset.
It's in the ASPX page itself. Add an attribute to the page directive.

<%@ Page ContentType="text/html; charset=utf-8" ... %>

thought my post is too long the short version is:
i have this tag in my HTML file served by IIS

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

IE show this page correctly but I need to detect the characterset of the
response and

HttpWebResponse webresp = (HttpWebResponse)(webrq.GetResponse());
...
console.WriteLine(webresp.CharacterSet);

dumps this on screen

ISO-8859-1

instead of utf-8 ! why?

adding Accept-Charset: utf-8 didnt solve the problem:

webrq.Headers.Add(HttpRequestHeader.AcceptCharset, Encoding.UTF8.WebName);

I dunno what is wrong with it?
