I would like to report a feature of Validator.
The service could be improved if the page would be parsed even in
the following case:
If there is <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html">
but no charset therein, and
there is no charset specified in the header, then Validator takes
charset="detect", and thereafter it complains
Sorry! A fatal error...
The detected character encoding was "detect".
The error was "".
(This can be compared to the case where there is no charset specified
but there is also no meta tag in the page, and Validator parses
the page anyway.
There may be something with assigning "unknown" and "detect" to a variable
"Detected Charset Encoding"
Sometimes I see even "http" in the variable.
)
I wish to thank to Dmitri Klimenko <dg@humorist.ru>,
that he helped me to get around the above problem.
