getPreferredCharsets()[0] always returns 'utf-8' **if** UTF-8 is accepted.

If 'utf-8' is not in getPreferredCharsets(), it is not very likely that 
the browser speaks UTF-8 and processInputs will not even try to decode 
with UTF-8. In that case it might be better to respond with an accepted 
encoding.
