No <meta http-equiv> header for log file is written by HTMLLayoutBase
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: LBCORE-208
URL: http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LBCORE-208
Project: logback-core
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Layout
Affects Versions: 0.9.9
Environment: Java
Reporter: Vladislav Rastrusny
Assignee: Logback dev list
Priority: Minor
When you use HTMLLayout for log files, logback only sets this HTML header:
{code}<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";>
<html>
<head>
<title>Logback Log Messages</title>
<style type="text/css">
</style>
</head>{code}
But if the log file contains symbols beyond ASCII range, some browsers can
incorrectly set encoding displaying the file. My FireFox assumed my log file is
in ISO-8859-5 when displaying it to me.
Since Java strings are UTF-16 and log is composed of strings, it seems desired
to have something like
{code}<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-16">{code}
in the HTML header. To add this functionality you only need to patch
logback-core-0.9.28-sources.jar\ch\qos\logback\core\html\HTMLLayoutBase.getFileHeader()
method adding this string to the list.
But it would also be desired to have file header customizable from config file.
