How to add a text encoding alias ?

yolongyi

Hi

I'm trying to parse html with QtWebkit.
The charset of the html is given by meta tag. ( like below )

charset is x-sjis as you can know...

The page can not be shown properly since qtwebkit can not find the proper encoding,
but Chrome, IE .. all show well with Shift_JIS.

x-sjis is an old presentation of Shift_JIS ( as far as I know )

so I want to add encoding alias from x-sjis to Shift_JIS to qtwebkit.
but I could not find the way..

how can I do it ?

thanks in advance :)

Is this the only content you have to display? If so you can try to set the default encoding of the entire [[Doc:QWebPage]] or [[Doc:QWebView]]:

@
myWebView->settings()->setDefaultTextEncoding("Shift-JIS");
// or
myWebPage->settings()->setDefaultTextEncoding("Shift-JIS");
@

A more elaborate solution would be to create a proxy [[Doc:QTextCodec]] plugin that wraps the Shift-JIS codec. I am not entirely sure that QtWebkit uses QTextCodec for unicode conversions, though.

I've read a part of code for encoding.
In my fedora package, it uses Qt unicode.

I've a little bit modified and made it parse x-sjis with Shift_JIS.
It works well.

but I don't want to edit QtWebKit code itself, I want to control it from my code.
Till now I couldn't find a way.

Do you have anything helpful... ??
