I'm seeing warnings of the type "UTF-16 surrogate 0xABCD" in my logs that
I'm not quite sure how to explain. I am familiar with the nature of the
warning message, and I've tracked it to Catalyst::Engine->write -- but I'm
not sure exactly what's triggering it. The response body does contain the
character sequences in question, but the Content-Type is
application/octet-stream (that's JPEG to you AOL folks) and the UTF flag is
off for the string. There doesn't seem to be any corruption of the output,
the JPEGs work. But I'm concerned that something is treating my output as
UTF8 or otherwise "stringy" when it shouldn't be.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Brian Kirkbride
