Kevin Brown commented on SHINDIG-46:
------------------------------------
That is not the BOM for UTF8.
The BOM for UTF8 is 0xEF 0xBB 0xBF. It's allowed according to the RFC, but it's
not required and Java's XML parsers choke on it.
> gadgets.io.makeRequest malfunctions on non-ASCII web sites.

> See this thread for background:

> 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.
