Created attachment 47303 [details] testcase Webkit-based applications (midori, liferea, GtkLauncher) fail to parse XHTML files with encoding="iso-8859-1". With the above URL (file also added as an attachment), under Linux (Debian) with libwebkit 1.1.19, I get: This page contains the following errors: error on line 2 at column 2: StartTag: invalid element name and with a similar page (which validates with xmllint), under Mac OS X Tiger with Liferea and webkit-gtk 1.1.10, I get: This page contains the following errors: error on line 2 at column 2: Char 0x0 out of allowed range (though there isn't such a character in the page). There's no such problem with encoding="utf-8", e.g. http://www.vinc17.net/test/webkit-utf8.html Note that these simplified examples contain only ASCII characters. Also, I couldn't try with the latest nightly build (23 Jan) on my Mac OS X machine because it crashes immediately.

The bug occurs only when the file is served as application/xhtml+xml, not when it is served as text/html. That's bad because webkit declares to support application/xhtml+xml.

I cannot reproduce with Safari on Mac OS X.

Comment 3 2010-01-26 07:31:02 PST
I couldn't reproduce it either with Safari, but my machine is under Mac OS X Tiger, so that's quite old. Now, I wonder whether this is specific to GTK (but I don't see what GTK has to do with something related to the encoding or MIME type declaration). Also I think that there were no such problems in the past (several months ago), but the bug still occurs with old Debian packages of midori and libwebkit-1.0-1.

Could be related to bug 30508.

(In reply to comment #4) > Could be related to bug 30508. Yes, the bug occurs with the libxml2 2.7.4.dfsg-1 Debian package, but not with 2.7.3.dfsg-2.1.

The patch fixing bug 30508 also fixes the problem I've reported. So, this is really a duplicate of bug 30508. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 30508 ***
