QtWebKit and windows-1251 encoding

popov895

Hi! I have a simple html file:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="ru">
    <head>
        <title>Encoding Test</title>
        <meta charset="windows-1251">
    </head>
    <body>
        Некоторый текст
    </body>
</html>

When I try to load it into QWebView I get ASSERTION FAILED:

ASSERTION FAILED: strcmp(alias, name) == 0 || atomicName
d:\qt_webkit_vs17\qtwk\source\webcore\platform\text\TextEncodingRegistry.cpp(177) : WebCore::addToTextEncodingNameMap

When I remove <meta> tag, that file loads successfully, but QWebView treats it as encoded with Latin-1 encoding. Also, when I load any web page without <meta> tag but with Content-Type: text/html; charset-1251 in the headers, I get ASSERTION FAILED too.

qWebKitVersion returns me 538.1. Can anyone check this behavior for themselves and explain me what is wrong with windows-1251 encoding?

It might be that QtWebKit is built without ICU support
