Bug Description

Is there a reason for stripping out of the Content-type <meta> tag from ZPT templates? This is done in the _prepare_html function in zope.pagetemplatefile.PageTemplateFile. My application produces XHTML that contains non-ASCII characters that is then used in other applications so it needs to have the content type set on the document itself in addition to the HTTP headers.

Second, finding and stripping of the meta tag is done using a regular expression which is incorrect because simply changing the order of the attributes on the <meta> tag would make the reg-exp not match.

Thanks.

meta_content_type_tag.patch Edit (3.7 KiB, text/plain)

The patch attached uses HTMLParser to get the meta content type tag information in the HTML if it exists and leaves it in the text. Also changed the tests to take into account that the meta tag is left in the HTML.
