 I recently discovered that when I opened a httpauth page in chromium, I
 get the wrong charset. However, after a first reload I get the correct
 one.

 Further investigation showed that
 a) the httpauth login page had a different charset than the page behind
 and on first load the charset of the httpauth was used
 b) this only happens when the https everywhere extension is enabled
 Therefore I assume it's a bug in the extension. Bug reported at chromium
 is here:
 https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=142929

 And a sample page to test:
 http://test.hboeck.de/
 With login guest, password guest
 (no https involved at all, so I don't understand why https everywhere
 causes a change, but it definitely does)
