Description Arthur Hagen 2008-08-12 07:44:18 UTC

/etc/squid/squid.conf and squid.conf.default in net-proxy/squid-2.7.3 uses a non-standard character set, which is neither iso-8859-1 nor utf-8.

Two places, there is a character 0x79 0x92 0x98 (\342\210\222 in octal).  This would have been a German minus sign in UTF-8, but the marker is missing (cut/paste error?)

If opening one of the files in nvi, this causes the file to be truncated at the first occurence.  If trying to convert it with iconv, it fails too:

% iconv -f UTF-8 -t ISO-8859-1 ._squid.conf

#       WELCOME TO SQUID 2.7.STABLE3
#       ----------------------------
[...]
#       tag is a number between 0 and concurrencyiconv: illegal input sequence at position 111325



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Comment 1 Arthur Hagen 2008-08-12 07:46:08 UTC
