But while trying to validate using URL and 'detect encoding automatically', the following error is displayed: Sorry! A fatal error occurred when attempting to transcode the character encoding of the document. Either we do not support this character encoding yet, or you have specified a non-existent character encoding (often a misspelling). The detected character encoding was "win1251". The error was "". If you believe the character encoding to be valid you can submit a request for that character encoding (see the feedback page for details) and we will look into supporting it in the future. here is my encoding meta tag: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1251"> what is wrong? 2114 1 link 2004-08-05 08:22:11 +0000 Most likely your server is sending a charset parameter with the Content-Type header specifying "win1251" instead of "windows-1251". The character encoding given in a <meta> element does not override the data provided directly in the HTTP transaction. In other words, this is most likely a configuration issue with your web server. I can't seem to reach http://neon2.neon.net.ua/ at the moment so I can't verify that this is the issue. Please investigate the issue on your end and let us know the result. PS. You should consider using UNICODE (UTF-8) instead of a proprietary encoding such as windows -1251. 2116 2 asc 2004-08-05 19:47:05 +0000 issue was resolved by setting in .htaccess AddDefaultCharset windows-1251 but Apache 2.0 seem to have default charset 'win1251' for that encoding, not 'windows-1251'. http://neon2.neon.net.ua/ not works for now due to hosting problems, but http://neon2.becor.org.ua/ (with same content) works.
