"The web server also had to be configured to not send a "charset" parameter on the "Content-Type" header, because the old browsers didn't know what to make of that. "

Looks like someone messed that up later. From a telnet session to home.mcom.com:

HEAD / HTTP/1.0

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

It is fixed now.
