Hmm. Looking at Tomcat 9 that code is no longer there. It isn't there in 8.0.x either. Digging in the svn history the "Content-Language" handling was removed (r1374824) shortly after it was added (r1374073). The commit message doesn't explain why. Time to check the mail archives... ... and here is the thread: http://tomcat.markmail.org/thread/qhnzq7v3dopgi7uz Having reviewed that thread, I don't see anything that has really changed since 2012. On that basis I'll remove "Content-Language" handling from 7.0.x to align it with the other versions.
