"raw" mode has no encoding, should be utf-8
Reported by Tekkub | August 4th, 2008 @ 03:55 PM | in 1. Next
From support email:
For http://gist.github.com/3971 when I click on "raw" (http://gist.github.com/raw/3971/... I see garbled quotes in Safari:
function ‘void
(that's displays as "function" space a-acute, euro sign, small tilde for me)
curl -I of the raw URL shows:
$ curl -I http://gist.github.com/raw/3971/...
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: nginx/0.6.31
Date: Mon, 04 Aug 2008 20:41:59 GMT
Content-Type: text/plain
[...]
This should include a charset of utf-8

It's not just an issue for gist, general repositories also have the same problem.
It would be really helpful if this was fixed soon, as I need people to be able to download translations for their language directly from the repository, and that obviously won't work well without UTF-8.
Cheers
