Issue #2567 has been updated by Aaron Patterson. Setting encoding based on 'Content-Type' header scares me. It is common that the webserver will report one encoding, and the HTML will contain a meta tag indicating a *completely different* encoding. The encoding indicated in the http header could conflict with the encoding in the HTML document. It seems safer to let clients of 'net/http' figure out which encoding is correct. ---------------------------------------- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/2567 ---------------------------------------- http://redmine.ruby-lang.org
