only a quick question. I've to handle xml in the body of an HTTP response.
The problem is that http header can specify an encoding different from the
processing instruction, like here:
HTTP-Header:
Content-Type: application/xhtml+xml; charset=UTF-8
1: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
2: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
3: "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";>
4:
5: <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xml:lang="de" lang="de">
6: <head>
7: <title>HTTP != XML</title>
8: </head>
9: <body>äöüÄÖÜß</body>
10: </html>
Which encoding has precedence? The http header or the processing instruction?
I had a similar issue a while back - here's the thread:

I think you use the content-type if it's present, if not you read the
first few bytes of the content in ascii looking for the prolog and use
the encoding specified there, finally falling back to utf-8 or utf-16.
