Feature: optional ability to override charset on XMLHttpRequest #219

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?

Use iUI to load a page/fragment via Ajax and insert it into the DOM.  In some 
cases (depends upon 
server configuration) the charset will not be UTF-8 but will be interpreted as 
UTF-8

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

You will get the Unicode replacement character � in your document or other 
character set issues.

The XMLHttpRequest spec covers character set handling here:
http://www.w3.org/TR/XMLHttpRequest/#text-response-entity-body

The XMLHttpRequest Level 2 spec covers the overrideMimeType method here:
