NoMethodError when fetching encoding type from a particular document

[boncey]

When trying to fetch the encoding type from http://www.ropetacklecentre.co.uk/ I get the following error:

doc = Nokogiri::HTML(open('http://www.ropetacklecentre.co.uk/'))
>> doc.meta_encoding
NoMethodError: You have a nil object when you didn't expect it!
You might have expected an instance of ActiveRecord::Base.
The error occurred while evaluating nil.[]
from /Users/boncey/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.8.7-p358/gems/nokogiri-1.5.2/lib/nokogiri/html/document.rb:9:in `meta_encoding'
from (irb):7
from :0

The HTML source is at https://gist.github.com/2379007

It looks like their <meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; utf-8" /> is a bit dodgy.

Thanks, Darren.

do you have

require 'open-uri'

before that Html Open?

[boncey]

Yes I do.

I'm using this same code to successfully fetch the encoding from hundreds of documents.
Only this page fails.

Fix will be in 1.5.3. I'll publish an RC soon.

Brilliant, thanks for that.
