--- Comment #9 from Nolan Lawson <nolan at nolanlawson.com> ---
Specifying the subresource encoding is a fine workaround when the developer has control over the web server. But in our case we want to use `loadHTMLString` to load a dynamic `index.html` page and then have subresources accessed as file:// URLs. So in this case we have no control over the headers.

In Android the roughly equivalent `loadDataWithBaseURL` method [1] gives the option to specify the encoding. Is this something that could be exposed in the WK framework? If not, a typical hybrid app with local resources that wants to use `loadHTMLString` would need to also run a local web server on the device, which seems pretty wasteful.
