http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=981 Summary: Character encoding "latin-1" yields useless error Product: Validator Version: 0.7.0 Platform: PC URL: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.stads panden.nl%2Fnieuw%2Fnew%2F OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: check AssignedTo: link@pobox.com ReportedBy: thijs@kinkhorst.com QAContact: www-validator-cvs@w3.org When trying to validate a website at the mentioned URL, I get the following message: ----- Sorry! A fatal error occurred when attempting to transcode the character encoding of the document. Either we do not support this character encoding yet, or you have specified a non-existent character encoding (often a misspelling). The detected character encoding was "latin-1". The error was "". ----- Of course this is a useless error, empty string. It provides no clue whatsoever as to what I'm doing wrong, I believe that "latin-1" is a valid charset (overriding it with its equivalent "iso-8859-1" works just fine).
