Nope, not an error.
I agree with you, IF there remains an option to get the raw log, via the
web interface. Changing the underlying function by default, is not an option.
You would always have to assume there's no error in the HTML escaping and you
're not even considering charset issues: e.g.: is the unicode char for the
euro sent to the browser as € or as numerical entity or as
doublebyte character, or as ISO-8815-1 international currency symbol, as it
originates from a machine conforming to 'the other standard'?
And what is the charset for a raw log in the first place? Are you sure, the
browser
displays this correctly?
But like I said - as long as there remains an option to get the pure data
via the
sysadmin interface, I don't have a problem with it.
Just seems like a waste of time to work on plus it creates margin for false
positives, when you can just 'view source/save' as or shift-click.
With kind regards,
