Curl: Re: How to get HTTP charset? I wanna do charset conversion(or maybe libcurl already has this feature)

Some can't fix the content-type HTTP header and then specify it as a meta in the HTML content

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
...

But still...
As some editors set this meta html tag by default from templates, even this information isn't already true

Your choice to add a byte based charset detection script or to accept that badly formatted document won't be well supported
