Hello!
I stumbled over the above, ie.,
curl -o x.html https://www.google.com
from here in Germany (in C.UTF-8 locale; but also Poland, said
a PLD-Linux developer) fetches a document that declares itself as
UTF-8, but in fact contains ISO-8859-1 (-2).
I had to copy the document and modify it,

IMO this is correct. I would say there could be a place for a flag
that overrides the document's declared charset, but I don't think
"assume" would be a good verb to use. -override-charset maybe?
