Description

See this page:
https://webgrec.ub.edu/webs/05195_ANG.html

When it is snarfed by a Tiki site (tried with up to 1.9.9), special characters are shown weird.
Example:
http://gclub.ub.es/xavi

Could it be made that snarf plugin allow selecting with character set is used in the page taken by the snarf plugin?
This way, the user would be able to siwtch, at least, between utf-8 and iso-8859-1 (or iso-8859-15, at least) so that the page is shown properly...


update: the source page in this example, doesn't have any character set defined, afaik (as of January 3rd, 2008).
So the request would be, If I understand the problem well enough, "make snarf plugin hadle correctly pages with no charset specified or with ones different from utf-8".
