Github Pages server always specifies utf-8 in header regardless of meta tag #22867

Hi, I’ve written a small Web page: http://flaz14.github.io/downgrade/index.html That page is for Downgrade topics. So I would like to use cp866 as page encoding (because it has been used in DOS as encoding for Russian language in good old times). I’ve specified the encoding inside meta tag like this (BTW I’m using HTML 4.01 Strict): When I load the page in a Web-browser (I’ve tried Firefox and Lynx) from Github Pages server I cannot read Russian letters: they are bloated (so, for example, in Firefox I need to go to menus and choose Cyrillic (DOS) by hand). But when I load the page from my local disk everything looks fine. I’ve investigated this and found out that Github Pages server supplies text/html; charset=utf-8 in Content-Type header regardless of the charset specified in meta tag. Can I use cp866 as page encoding at Github Pages? PS I also tried another synonym but without luck: |
