encoding

[xuchaoji]

Does not support gb2312 encoding, the page shows garbled

[joshdick]

Do you have an example page? Does the server for the page in question send a correct Content-Type header with the encoding specified?

Some Chinese web servers return the HTML pages with header as:

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=gb2312" />
OR
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=gbk" />

These charsets are key official character sets of the People's Republic of China, used for simplified Chinese characters.

@joshdick

Original server returns:

HTTP response
Content-Type:text/html

HTML document
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=gbk" />

miniProxy convert it from "ISO-8859-1" to "HTML-ENTITIES" and returns:

HTTP response
Content-Type:text/html;charset=UTF-8

HTML document
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=gbk" />

my modification would convert it from "gbk" to "HTML-ENTITIES" and returns:

HTTP response
Content-Type:text/html;charset=UTF-8

HTML document
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
