Right now character encodings are taken from HTTP headers. While the RFC mandates that encodings be specified, some websites don't do that. Right now the library assumes UTF-8 if no encoding is specified in Content-Type. However, this is brittle. A better way is to use character encoding detection, for example, from text-icu. This has been started in the chardet branch.
