[mod-security-users] Little problems with encoding type

[Daniel F. B. <dfe...@is...>]

Hello,

I'm having some problems parsing the HTML with libxml2.
I thought I could use the request_rec->content_encoding but I see that
where some web pages specify UTF-8 as encoding this info in not in
this structure when I'm in sec_filter_out() so I don't know how now
the encription type to use (or use some as "ISO-8859-1" by default).

Thanks,

   My guess that field is populated only when the content encoding
   information is in the HTTP headers.

   The correct procedure may be to start parsing using the default
   encoding. If a change of the encoding is encountered, go back
   and start all over.
