10340 - Japanese detection is broken w/ detector pref enabled.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 10230

Description

[Katsuhiko Momoi]

** Observed with 7/22/99 Win32 build **

Now that the pref setting has been enabled, I tested this
with regard to the Japanese module for mail (and browser). This
report is about the browser only.

Here's my setting:

user_pref("intl.charset.detector", "japsm");

Here's what I saw when I went to 2 pages with no Meta tag:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
FindShortcut: in='http://kaze:8000/eucnometa.html'  out='null'

Note that in the first case, we don't check for EUC-JP at all.
In the 2nd case, it checks for Shift_JIS but decides that it is not.

Both results are wrong.

10230 seems to cover the 2 issues in this bug also.
Verifying it as a duplicate.
