Ken Krugler commented on TIKA-469:
----------------------------------
Hi Robert - do you have an example of an HTML file?
I'm asking because if an HTML document is encoded as UTF-8, the only reasona I
can think of for the character encoding to be messed up is if (a) the HTML meta
tag uses an encoding name that isn't supported by Java, or (b) there is no
charset specified in the response header or the HTML meta tags, and the
algorithmic detection of the character encoding is also failing.
Thanks,
