mozilla fails to detect the UTF-8 character encoding for this page:
http://www.cfilt.iitb.ac.in/wordnet/webhwn/lookup1.html, but does so correctly
for this page: http://geocities.com/hanu_man_ji/hindi_page.html
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. view http://www.cfilt.iitb.ac.in/wordnet/webhwn/lookup1.html
Actual Results:
the page did not render correctly. after setting the character encoding
manually, it renders correctly
Expected Results:
correctly set the character encoding to UTF-8
having looked at the source for these and other pages, i find that there is some
junk text right at the beginning of the pages, just before the <html> tag. this
may be the source of the problem. otherwise the pages seem to be identical. a
sample page that renders correctly is attached

The server sends out (via HTTP) 'Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1'
which has a higher priority than the meta tag in the document (which declares
the document as in UTF-8). If the problem is site-wide, this is a tech
evangelism issue. 'Autodetect' (which is invoked ONLY when both HTTP and meta
tag info are missing) cannot do anything about this. Contact the site admin and
ask her/him to fix the server configuration.
