Closed: Fixed Opened by rombobeorn.

= bug description =
Load https://keys.fedoraproject.org/pks/lookup?search=Rombobj%C3%B6rn and see the mangled text in the page title.

= bug analysis =
The HTTP header, the XML declaration and the meta element all specify UTF-8, but the contents of the title element and the h1 element aren't valid UTF-8. Somewhere in the processing the input has been transformed by a routine that treated it as something other than UTF-8.

= fix recommendation =
Keep track of the character encoding of every string you process, all the way from input to output.

This actually appears to be a bug with sks, the software that we run, not a bug specific to our keyserver. Could you please file a issue with sks at https://bitbucket.org/skskeyserver/sks-keyserver/issues If not, let me know, and I will file it for you.

I am resolving this ticket as invalid, but that's just because it goes in the bitbucket tracker for skskeyserver, not the Fedora Infrastructure trac, and there isn't a resolved->upstream option on here.
