Summary0002549: Rendering of UTF-8 when <meta> attributes not semicolon separated
DescriptionLooking in detail at some recent HTML email attachments (received in
Messenger Pro), Netsurf's rendering of them seems to have a dependence
on the coding of the <meta content=""> tag.

When this tag is present and includes:

     content="text/html charset=utf-8"

any non-ASCII characters are rendered as the three bytes of their UTF-8
encoding, whereas if the two attributes are separated by semicolon:

     content="text/html; charset=utf-8"

the rendering (using Unicode font DejaVu) looks correct.
Steps To ReproduceInsert or delete a separating semicolon in above example.

A particular HTML email attachment that shows this effect includes headers:

   Mime-Version: 1.0 (Mac OS X Mail 10.3 \(3273\))
   X-Mailer: Apple Mail (2.3273)

Could Apple's omission of the semicolon be contrary to standards?

Bernard,

Could you please provide me with the exact HTML tags present? E.g. is it

    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html charset=utf8">

or is it

    <meta content="text/html charset=utf8">

?

I've pushed a change to hubbub to try and cope with this anyway.

Updated hubbub now seems to resolve this.
