Summary Servers that need encoding sniffing to be rendered properly
Alexey Proskuryakov
Reported 2005-07-24 02:00:32 PDT
This server (using Microsoft-IIS/5.0) auto-guesses the encoding, and sends Mac Cyrillic to Safari. For whatever reason, the charset sent is quite broken - "mac" is ambiguous and thus unsupported by WebKit. Still, it should be possible to disambiguate "mac" by using the system primary language's Mac encoding. % curl -I --header "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; ru-ru) Apple WebKit/312.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/312" http://www.museum.ru/museum/Ostankino/5.htm HTTP/1.1 200 OK Server: Microsoft-IIS/5.0 Date: Sun, 24 Jul 2005 08:58:33 GMT Accept-Ranges: bytes Last-Modified: Wed, 15 Jun 2005 12:58:15 GMT ETag: "ed49fce4a971c51:804" Content-Length: 7318 Set-Cookie: charset=mac; path=/; expires=Mon, 10 May 2032 23:12:40 GMT Content-Type: text/html; charset=mac

Oops, in fact "mac" and "macintosh" charsets are defined in RFC 1345 (as MacRoman), and WebKit explicitly supports them. So, the implementation is correct, and probably shouldn't be changed. However, this example may need to be considered in a future encoding sniffer - museum.ru is a rather important server.

I propose to use this bug to track servers whose encoding cannot be determined via HTTP or HTML headers, so content sniffing is required. Two more: http://stats.distributed.net/team/tmsummary.php?project_id=8&team=11269 http://www.mdf.ru

http://www.zoo.ru (also sends charset=mac instead of x-mac-cyrillic).

Bug 17405: http://tianya.cn - no charset information; encoded as Simplified Chinese.
