The page says in an HTML header (rather than an HTTP one) that its encoding is "gb-2312", which is I believe meant to be "gb2312", and is a simplified chinese character encoding. That may be the first hurdle. Additionally, the page contains bytes that do not exist in this encoding in the first place. However, it does parse as iso-8859-1. I am not familiar enough with the new parser to say which of these (if either) is causing the issue, or how to repair the issue - this posting is informational only :) B.
