Description Michael Krelin 2005-07-01 14:43:33 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.1)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc 3 
OS:                Linux

When I am trying to load an html fragment via XMLHttpRequest() and display it via *.innerHTML = *.responseText it shows up, I believe, in Latin encoding. Which is not the case for Firefox, MSIE and Opera.

You can check out the behaviour at 

http://hacker.klever.net/range/konqueror-charset-bug/

which loads http://hacker.klever.net/range/konqueror-charset-bug/to-load.html

Both documents return Content-Type: text/html; charset=windows-1251
Comment 1 Thiago Macieira 2005-07-02 02:48:52 UTC 
I can reproduce (trunk 424191).
Comment 2 Dawit Alemayehu 2005-07-15 00:58:56 UTC 
The attached patch should fix the problem.

I can confirm it fixes the problem. If you'll be so kind, Dawit, commit it :-)
Comment 4 Michael Krelin 2005-07-15 13:42:40 UTC 
Great, I've seen you working in the logs ;-)

Hope it's okay if I eventually remove the files I've put on the web.

guys, your patch doesn't work for me.
Please double check.

Cheers,
Anton

ps. I think you have to apply it "encoding" after 
if (!encoding.isNull()) 
        decoder->setEncoding(encoding.latin1(), Decoder::EncodingFromHTTPHeader); 

In the "fixme" line.
