Doğacan Güney commented on NUTCH-25: ------------------------------------ Doug, have you been able to look at my patch? > needs 'character encoding' detector > ----------------------------------- > > Key: NUTCH-25 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-25 > Project: Nutch > Issue Type: Wish > Reporter: Stefan Groschupf > Priority: Trivial > Attachments: NUTCH-25_draft.patch > > > transferred from: > http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=995730&group_id=59548&atid=491356 > submitted by: > Jungshik Shin > this is a follow-up to bug 993380 (figure out 'charset' > from the meta tag). > Although we can cover a lot of ground using the 'C-T' > header field in in the HTTP header and the > corresponding meta tag in html documents (and in case > of XML, we have to use a similar but a different > 'parsing'), in the wild, there are a lot of documents > without any information about the character encoding > used. Browsers like Mozilla and search engines like > Google use character encoding detectors to deal with > these 'unlabelled' documents. > Mozilla's character encoding detector is GPL/MPL'd and > we might be able to port it to Java. Unfortunately, > it's not fool-proof. However, along with some other > heuristic used by Mozilla and elsewhere, it'll be > possible to achieve a high rate of the detection. > The following page has links to some other related pages. > http://trainedmonkey.com/week/2004/26 > In addition to the character encoding detection, we > also need to detect the language of a document, which > is even harder and should be a separate bug (although > it's related). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
