I have created a simple ASP.NET application using MonoDevelop 2.6 Beta 2. I
added a test.htm file which contains the German text "für Flöhe älter als daß"
wich contains several special characters which are not displayed correctly in
Mono.

I created the test.htm file with VS2008 in order to ensure that MonoDevelop
will not change it's format behind the scenes. I also copied the the text to
Default.aspx using VS2008.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Run the application
2.Look at the content of Default.aspx
3.Compare to the content of test.htm (enter http://127.0.0.1:8080/test.htm into
the browser's address bar
Actual Results:  
Mono corrupts all special characters in Default.aspx. But it the text in
test.htm is displayed as expected!

Expected Results:  
Correct display of text including all special characters in Default.aspx.

MonoDevelop 2.6 Beta 2 creates the following section inside of web.config:

<globalization requestEncoding="utf-8" responseEncoding="utf-8" />

when changing "utf-8" against "iso-8859-1" things are changing as follows:

The text im Default.aspx is corrupted. But the displayed characters are
different compared to "utf-8" encoding. The text in test.htm is also totally
corrupted.
