[Daniel Bates]

This patch broke the GTK build as webkit_web_view_get_encoding() (in webkitwebview.cpp) calls DocumentWriter::encoding().

Substituted DocumentWriter::deprecatedFrameEncoding() for DocumentWriter::encoding() in webkit_web_view_get_encoding() and committed this change in <http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/94826>.

For completeness, the following are the build logs from the bots:

That's probably not the right fix.  The right fix is most likely to get the encoding from Document::encoding.

[Adam Barth]

With any luck, deprecatedFrameEncoding will be removed shortly as well.

[Alexey Proskuryakov]

Perhaps setEncoding needs a more descriptive name - it's not clear what its precedence is, or how it's related to deprecatedFrameEncoding.

Eric said exactly the same thing.  Part of this process is to get our minds wrapped around exactly how the encoding selection works.  Once we understand that fully we should be able to pick better names for things.

For context, Alexey, we're trying to remove deprecatedFrameEncoding and have FrameLoader get the fallback encoding from the current document (which is conceptually what should be happening).

It seems that the document's encoding almost always matches the deprecatedFrameEncoding, except possibly when appcache is involved or when the deprecatedFrameEncoding is empty (in which case the document picks a default encoding).  Here's a patch we're suing to experiment with this change:
