Kevin Brown commented on SHINDIG-46:
------------------------------------
Anything that isn't text -- images, flash, or really anything where an XHR
won't suffice.
The patch is pretty close to what we need, but it does still need to handle the
BOM issue as well.
> gadgets.io.makeRequest malfunctions on non-ASCII web sites.

> Short term, we should change the HTTP proxy code to always use UTF-8 as the
> character set for converting remote content bytes to strings before returning
> them to clients. We should do this ASAP to prevent anyone from becoming
> dependent on the current undefined behavior.
> Long term we might want to add some kind of character set detection, probably
> via the HTTP content-type header. IE style charset content sniffing would
> probably not be a good idea.
