Description Steve Purcell 2005-12-10 12:37:57 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.0)
Installed from:    Unlisted Binary Package
OS:                Linux

To reproduce:
* View -> Set Encoding is set to the default of "Automatic Detection -> Semi-Automatic".
* Open a remote web page in Konqueror where the HTTP server returns "charset=UTF-8" in the content-type header.  The page will display Umlauts correctly.
* Click on a link in the page, then click the back button.
* The page will now be displayed with the wrong character encoding; Umlauts will not be displayed correctly.

(Further information: I have only tested this on pages that do not contain meta http-equiv tags for their content types.  This may or may not be relevant, but those tags should not be required.)

Expected behaviour: Konqueror should remember the encoding sent by the server in its history, so that returning to previous pages preserves the original encoding.

Please let me know if more information is needed.  Thanks so much for the great work with Konqueror and KDE 3.5.

-Steve Purcell
