title: Can ColdFusion send HTML5 Server-Sent Events in utf-8?
body: <p>using <code>&lt;cfcontent type="text/event-stream"&gt;</code> in ColdFusion, the non-English characters are displayed as question marks: <code>???????123123???? ???</code>, but the rest of the page can display non-English characters just fine.</p>
  
  <p>I followed <a href="http://www.html5rocks.com/tutorials/eventsource/basics/" rel="nofollow">this tutuorial</a> and tried </p>
  
  <p><code>&lt;cfheader name="Content-Type" value="text/event-stream; charset=utf-8"&gt;</code> </p>
  
  <p>and also </p>
  
  <p><code>&lt;cfcontent type="text/event-stream; charset=utf-8"&gt;</code>  </p>
  
  <p>Both of them do not work with Chrome (doesn't pick up, developer tool reported "pending" with no reconnection. </p>
