Encoding problem (input is interpreted as Latin-1) about boilerpipe HOT 2 CLOSED

Relying on UTF-8 as the default would be plain wrong.

According to RFC 2616 (HTTP/1.1), ISO-8859-1 is the default charset encoding.
We're already relaxing it to Win Cp1252. 

If you need to change the default encoding for your setup, simply adjust the 
following line in the HTMLFetcher class:
        Charset cs = Charset.forName("Cp1252");

I understand that defaulting to utf-8 could be wrong. 
However, when the source of

rs-with-buddy-media-to-launch-a-scalable-social-platform-on-facebook-for-thirtee
n-hearst-brands/#more-10378 is passed as html string 'a' to 
ast.INSTANCE.getText(a) (where ast is an ArticleExtractor object), it creates 
the same problem. Input seems to be interpreted as Latin-1. How can that be 
fixed or How can I make it default to utf-8 ? 

Thanks.
