95560 - Return "UTF-8" for nsIPlatformCharset while pass kPlatformCharsetSel_FileName

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Internationalization, defect)

Description

[Frank Tang]

While calling nsIPlatformCharset
 with kPlatformCharsetSel_FileName on Macintosh, we currently return the charset
name of the system script.
Since MacOS X use UTF-8 for all the char* function of BSD file system functions
and define the file:/// URL as % escaped UTF-8, we probably should return
"UTF-8" on MacOS X instead.

see bug 95478 and 95481 for more information.

According to the document, BSD uses UTF-8 but HFS+ uses UTF-16.
