           Summary: http://source.winehq.org/patches/data/foo doesn't have
                    proper character set header
           Product: WineHQ.org
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: www-unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: dank at kegel.com


Patches with non-ascii characters in them, e.g.
   http://source.winehq.org/patches/data/78111
do not render properly in web browsers.
Let's see what http headers are set:

$ wget -S http://source.winehq.org/patches/data/78111

  Accept-Ranges: bytes
  Content-Length: 62261
  Keep-Alive: timeout=5
  Connection: Keep-Alive
  Content-Type: text/plain
Length: 62261 (61K) [text/plain]

text/plain doesn't give much idea what character set is in use.

$ hexdump 78111 -C | head
00000000  46 72 6f 6d 3a 20 41 6e  64 72 c3 a9 20 48 65 6e  |From: Andr.. Hen|

http://www.utf8-chartable.de/ says that 'c3 a9' is é, so the page is
probably utf-8, and following http://www.w3.org/International/O-HTTP-charset
the page should probably be served with
   Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
rather than
   Content-Type: text/plain

(although until the entire wine tree is in utf-8, it's kind of hard to say
whether patches can actually be represented properly in utf-8.)
