     Type:  defect (bug)  |      Status:  new                           
 Priority:  normal        |   Milestone:  2.8.5                         
Component:  General       |     Version:  2.8.4                         
 Severity:  trivial       |    Keywords:  ajax, charset, admin, response
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 When (for example) a new category is added in the edit post page, the ajax
 response header contains only the text/xml content-type attribute, but
 "charset" is missing, so if Apache is configured with AddDefaultCharset
 iso-8859-2, but blog_charset is set to UTF-8 there will be a garbled
 response.

 the quick fix for this bug is to replace the WP_Ajax_Response->send()
 method in the wp-includes/classes.php file to this:

         function send() {
                 header('Content-Type: text/xml;
 charset='.get_option('blog_charset'));
                 echo "<?xml version='1.0' standalone='yes'?><wp_ajax>";
                 foreach ( (array) $this->responses as $response )
                         echo $response;
                 echo '</wp_ajax>';
                 die();
         }
