detectEncodingDefault

public static String detectEncodingDefault(File inFile,
 String defaultEncoding)

Detect the encoding of the supplied file. If detection fails, return the supplied default encoding.

detectHtmlEncoding

public static Charset detectHtmlEncoding(String fileName,
 String defaultEncoding)

Returns the reader of the underlying file in the correct encoding.

We can detect the following:

• UTF-16 with BOM (byte order mark)
• UTF-8 with BOM (byte order mark)
• Any other encoding with 8-bit Latin symbols (e.g. Windows-1251, UTF-8 etc), if it is specified using XML/HTML-style encoding declarations.

Note that we cannot detect UTF-16 encoding, if there's no BOM!
