           Summary: hook up ICU's encoding detector and add a boolean param
                    to Settings and WebPreferences
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 525+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: New Bugs
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: jungshik.shin at gmail.com


ICU has an character encoding detector. It's not very well tuned. However, it's
decent enough to 'resolve'  bugs like bug 14683 and bug 14500 (in the sense
that they'd not be visible to end-users any more).

I have a patch that  :

  1. Hooks up FrameLoader with ICU encoding detector 
  2. Adds a field to Settings (to control whether the detector is used or not)

I'll upload it so that others can take a look. 

In addition, WebPreference needs to have the corresponding entry and it needs
to have a UI so that the end user controls it as well.
