QtWebKit`s autodetection of encoding works good, but there are some sites on the internet witch has bad encoding, like a page with text in two different encodings or wrong page`s encoding header. So I wanted a feature for user to be able to change encoding of page manually. The only function I found by docs was QWebSettings::setDefaultEncoding. I tryed to use that, but it looks like QWebView and QWebPage are still using autodetection. However, implementing custom download mechanism and using QWebPage::setHtml() of raw data with fixes in head`s mime or changing file`s encoding does the trick.

I think there should be some kind of function to set encoding, user want to use, it is very usefull with some bad sites and in web development process. Chromium browser (witch uses WebKit too iirc) has such a feature.

Enviroment I used:
Kubuntu 11.04
Qt 4.7.2
QtWebKit 2.0.2
WebKit 533.3
