Still some encoding issues

[glebourgeois]

I did not look yet into these two examples specifically, but considering this :

if self.doc.source_headers.get("content-type"):
            header_encoding = get_encoding_from_content_type(self.doc.source_headers["content-type"])
            if header_encoding:
                return header_encoding

I can assure you that you cannot trust the encoding specified in headers ; they are quite often badly declared.

Indeed!

Do you have another solution in mind? Would be great to avoid doing chardet on all documents just to fix the <1% cases where they are badly declared :(

Nope, you just cannot trust your input data, that's the beauty of the web ;)
And as you know, garbage in, garbage out.

By the way, on the "true web", id most of the websites hand-written by noob dev, you'll have far more than 1% errors ; they will have copy/pasted an example with utf-8 declaration from the web, while writing html code in windows notepad with windows-1252 encoding.
And as the browsers are systematically detecting the encodings before displaying a page, the will never know their mistakes.... (thanks for the legendary browsers tolerance)
