Tcl Source Code

$ tclsh
% pa re http
2.7.5
% namespace children
::http ::oo ::tcl
% http::config
-accept */* -proxyfilter http::ProxyRequired -proxyhost {} -proxyport {} -urlencoding utf-8 -useragent {Tcl http client package 2.7.5}
% namespace children
::http ::oo ::tcl
% set http::defaultCharset utf-8
utf-8
% set token [http::geturl http://bash.org.pl/rss]
::http::1
% upvar 0 $token state
% set state(charset)
utf-8

This url is a simple RSS feed using the utf-8 charset, but not passing it in the Content-Type header.
It tells me that it actually is UTF, but it isn't. After that I try to display it using http::data, but it dispalys incorrectly - in this case, polish UTF chars look like they're readen like ISO.

Still seems to apply in the current version

Most importantly, http seems to completely ignore -binary true for charset mangling. I always get mangled UTF-8 out of TclHTTP, while the same file downloads correctly using TclCurl and wget from the command line. Please fix.
