Log Message:
Matthijs van Duin (efnet, CPAN "xmath") insisted that the HTML
responses aren't compliant with w3c's HTML 4.01 specification without
including a character encoding. He STRONGLY insisted that some form
of encoding be specified.
| <xmath> [character encoding is] not "advisory".. without it [the
| HTML] is not valid
He provided the patch that I am applying with this commit. By
applying this patch, I have disregarded the objections of Juerd and
Yaakov:
| <Yaakov> The ecoding type is NOT part of the HTML in that document,
| it is a server issue.
| <xmath> that's why you should specify it in the header
| <xmath> Yaakov: if you just specify it on both the form page and the
| result page, then at least people can enter extended chars
| without worrying about them getting messed up
|
| <xmath> Juerd: I'm not sure all browsers can properly deal with
| utf-8
| <xmath> though I guess modern ones do
| <Juerd> xmath: Most modern browsers
| <Juerd> xmath: But most ANY browsers guess charsets, and they're
| rather good at that
| <xmath> Juerd: yes, because there are so many broken pages
| <Yaakov> Yes... I think that was my point. I don't know what will
| be pasted.
|
| <xmath> if you want to rely on guessing
| <xmath> fine
| <xmath> but then don't put up a "Valid HTML 4.01" logo
| <xmath> because it isn't
| <xmath> anyway, dinner time
| <xmath> bbl
|
| <Juerd> xmath: HTML 4.01 has nothing to do with the charset
| <Yaakov> THAT IS MY POINT
| <Yaakov> The HTML _IS_ VALID
I will be happy to reverse this patch if it breaks more than it fixes.
