I'm not sure we can say it really works if you have
to tell the browser the charset! Isn't the
the responsibility of the HTTP header
stream coming back from the server?
I tried a little experiment to see whether the
server does indeed tell the browser the charset:
telnet www.olelo.hawaii.edu 80
Trying 128.171.15.130...
Connected to kopahela.uhh.Hawaii.edu.
Escape character is '^]'.
GET /UTF8/ HTTP/1.1
Here's what the server replied:
HTTP/1.0 200 OK
Server: WebSTAR
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-type: text/html
Now, how is the browser supposed to know the text is UTF-8?
