The howtogeek.com page works fine for me, the encoding is ISO-8859-5, which is odd since it appears to be an English-language site. The encoding does not appear to be explicitly set in the HTTP headers nor in the HTML, and as a result Firefox is just guessing at the encoding. I don't know how it chooses Cyrillic, though. The site obviously does not deal well with encodings at all, as in the comments some people's names are encoded in ISO-8859-1, others in utf-8 (presumably whatever their client was set to when they submitted their name).
I get the same error on http://www.symfony-project.org/blog/ (which properly identifies itself as utf-8) but only when accessing it via SOCKS proxy server (actually SSH dynamic tunnel). After switching it to the standard HTTP proxy I'm behind the problem went away. I have seen several other references to this issue and haven't found anything in common between the sites in question. It's very strange. -- http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/linux/installing-tomcat-6-on-ubuntu/ content encoding error https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/235211 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
