 Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1` as a response.

 That is done by `outputError` in the cgi package.  Björn Bringert is
 rewriting `outputError` and friends to check HTTP_ACCEPT and send the
 error messages as text/plain if requested.  When that's done, the server
 side will require only a recompile.
