This is not correct - HTML meta tags override HTTP headers, as they are a 
higher level of abstraction and convey a knowledge the lower level cannot 
have, of the content of the transmission.

I know there are some broken browsers (no names) which for some weird 
combination of settings disregard HTML meta tags in favor of headers, but 
this is hardly the norm, nor the standard.
