Ask HN: no charset info in Google's html?
Is it me or Google is not including charset information in its pages? Either with meta charset or with meta http-equiv.
I haven't been monitoring this, nor do I expect to. Just as a comparison, Apple, Microsoft, Facebook and Twitter do. What's going on?
- arkitaip 14y agoIt's set in the HTTP response header: Status: HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently Location: http://www.google.com/ Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Date: Fri, 18 May 2012 10:37:27 GMT Expires: Sun, 17 Jun 2012 10:37:27 GMT Cache-Control: public, max-age=2592000 Server: gws Content-Length: 219 X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN Connection: close
- ezequiel-garzon 14y agoThanks for your answer. Although I failed to check that, I thought it was considered best practice to including this information in the html document as well.
