First make sure the HTTP server is not passing an encoding which should override the default one embedded in the file. Then give your own encoding string to the parser, define your own encoding handling routines. Or debug libxml2 to find why ascii conversion is so obtuse in the HTML parsing case, and suggest a patch. Of course if the patch breaks the well formedness checkings at libxml2 level it will be forgotten. > libxml is an XML parser, do not require it to parse IE-ready html code ;-) Wromg it's about the HTML parser in libxml2. > You can always clean the document on your own before passing it to > libxml2. Or you can use libtidy or similar tool to clean your code. ironically if you look at the document it had been tidied, or it is supposed to, even though it's not XML there are non closed tags.
