The validator should throw a warning/error if it's not Content-Type: application/x-web-app-manifest+json;charset=UTF-8 - I thought we were presently doing this.

Comment 2

[Matt Basta [:basta]]

We don't respect the Content-Type charset. Per the manifest docs:

    The manifest must be in UTF-8 encoding in order for the app to be submitted to Firefox Marketplace.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Apps/Manifest#Serving_manifests
https://github.com/mozilla/zamboni/blob/master/mkt/developers/tasks.py#L515

If the manifest gets properly decoded as UTF-8, but it's actually *not* UTF-8, then there's nothing we can do about that. RESOLVED DONTDOTHATTHEN

[Wil Clouser [:clouserw]]

It looks like they are serving the manifest with UTF-8 now, but they didn't reencode the document and now it's broken the other way, eg:

>     "name": "Buscap� Company",

Krupa - did you tell them about the UTF-8 change?

done

[Christopher Van Wiemeersch [:cvan]]

The developer's manifest is still encoded as ISO-8559-1 - nothing we can do until the developer makes this UTF-8.

Comment 6

[Wil Clouser [:clouserw]]

There isn't anything we can do here.  If the name doesn't appear correctly it should be caught by a reviewer when it is in the queue.
