           Summary: Web page encoded as "Big 5 HKSCS" is not decoded
                    properly (works in Firefox 3)
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Macintosh
               URL: http://www.mingpaonews.com/20081222/gaa1h.htm
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: HasReduction, NeedsRadar, ReviewedForRadar
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Page Loading
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: ddkilzer at webkit.org
                CC: ap at webkit.org


* SUMMARY
Web page with "Big5" encoding specified in <meta> tag (and Content-Type sent as
"text/html") is not detected as having "Big 5 HKSCS" encoding and is thus not
decoded properly.  The same page loaded in Firefox 3 is detected and decoded
properly.

* STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Launch Safari/WebKit.
2. Open URL:  http://www.mingpaonews.com/20081222/gaa1h.htm

* RESULTS
Note square boxes in the text of the story, and how the text differs after
switching to "Big 5 HKSCS" encoding via the "Text Encoding" item in the View
menu.

* REGRESSION
Unknown.  Tested Safari 3.2.1 on Mac OS X 10.5.6 and a local debug build of
WebKit r39423.  Both showed the same behavior.

* NOTES
Firefox 3 gets it right, so WebKit should be using a similar heuristic.
