HTML charset vs XML encoding







HTML charset vs XML encoding

HTML charset vs XML encoding 02/13/2004 03:57 PM

Dare Obasanjo: Mark Pilgrim has a post entitled Determining the character encoding of a feed where he does good job of sumarizing what the various specs say about determining the character encoding of an XML document retrieved on the World Wide Web via HTTP. The only problem with his post is that although it is a fairly accurate description of what the specs say it definitely does not reflect reality.

OK, so given this, what should a feedvalidator do?  Should it follow the specifications?  Should it follow Dare's recommendations?  Should it issue a warning if the specifications and Dare's recommendations differ for a given feed?

Character Encoding and HTML Forms


Character Encoding and HTML Forms 04/15/2004 03:54 PM
Joe Gregorio: lacking any other indications, a browser will submit the data from a form using the same character encoding that the page is served in. This mind blowing statement was embedded in an otherwise interesting article on Atom and Wiki's.  It has caused me to rethink how I serve pages on my weblog, and has caused me to begin the switch to utf-8.  Here's why: ...

The HTTP charset parameter


The HTTP charset parameter 04/26/2004 10:09 AM
Martin J. Dürst: It is very important to always label Web documents explicitly. HTTP 1.1 says that the default charset is ISO-8859-1. But there are too many unlabeled documents in other encodings, so browsers use the reader's preferred encoding when there is no explicit charset parameter. Martin describes how to set the charset in a number of popular servers and scripting langauges.  If you see something missing, let him know.

Trackbacks, Queries, and Encoding


Trackbacks, Queries, and Encoding 05/26/2004 10:34 AM
This morning, I got a trackback from a Korean weblog.  Unfortunately, if you look at how a typical trackback is sent, you see that character encoding information is not provided. Something to think about the next time you are tempted to think that you can get queries for free.  While both HTTP and XML provide mechanisms for defining encoding, support in widely deployed implementations is much better in XML than in straight HTTP. URI's seem to be converging on UTF-8, albeit at an excruciatingly slow pace.  Don't leave this to chance - if you are defining a GenerativeNaming scheme today, make this explicit. If you are defining a protocol based on HTTP POST, encourage the use of the charset parameter on the Content-Type header.  Require it if you can.

Also new convert WMA files to play them on the iPod, a "Party Shuffle" rolling random playlist queue you can reorganize and a "Print CD inserts with album cover art" feature.

PSX Adds PSP Video Encoding, Sorta


PSX Adds PSP Video Encoding, Sorta 03/17/2005 03:52 AM

psx_again.jpg imageFinally we have some clarity to that whole PSX production debacle from a few weeks back. Sony has announced two new PSX models: the 250GB "DESR-7700" and 160GB "DESR-5700." Both are set to go on sale on April 15th in Japan with an interesting new feature: the ability to encode video in the PSP's video format. Unfortunately, this new feature is rendered almost entirely useless by the PSX's shitty re-encoding process: 768kbps video re-encodes at 20% of realtime, and 384kbps at 25% realtime. The 250GB model has a price tag of 80,000 yen and the 160GB model 60,000 yen; but I have a hard time believing adding a new "feature" as slow as this one will convince anyone to buy the damn things.
