doesn't work.

My apologies... German ß and Greek β mess-up on my part. German ß is in fact Western.

I think you need to decide on what charset you want your site/page to support.

iso-8859-9 looks like Turkish:
http://www.charset.org/charactersets.php?charset=iso-8859-9
I wouldn't expect German character ß to exist in a Turkish charset.

I'd expect any charset mismatches to result in the browser sending entity references which seems to be the case in my experience, but not just failing dropping the connection, but my experience is only with ISO-8859-1 and UTF-8 and the experience will likely be browser specific in addition to any charset settings specifically on the browser.

I found this to be a good read when I was wading through charset conversion issues:
http://htmlpurifier.org/docs/enduser-utf8.html

Any AddDefaultCharset settings between your old Apache server and new one could play a role.

UTF-8 can simplify things but then you have to be prepared in terms of what you are going to do with that data including storage.

Sorry to confuse you. I gaved æ and ß as an example because you don't know Turkish special characters and not sure if you can see them. Here they are; "Ç Ğ İ Ş Ü". I also upload an image for matching if the list member see them right. http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/9/fh4j.png/


Here is a simple form from that server. Very interestingly if I change "Character Encoding" from browser other than Turkish it works. Even "ISO 8859-8"(Hebrew), which doesn't have "Ç Ğ İ Ş Ü", is OK.
