This is currently my entire node.js server code:
require('http').createServer(function (req, resp) {
var html = [
'<!DOCTYPE html>',
'<html>',
'<head>',
'<meta charset="utf-8" />',
'<title>Sample Response</title>',
'</head>',
'<body>',
'<p>Hello world</p>',
'</body>',
'</html>'
].join('');
resp.writeHead(200, {
'Content-Length': Buffer.byteLength(html, 'utf8'),
'Content-Type': 'application/xhtml+xml;'
});
resp.write(html, 'utf8');
resp.end();
}).listen(80);
Based on my understanding of the node.js documentation, the second 'utf8' argument to resp.write() should cause node to encode the html string as UTF-8, not the UTF-16 that JavaScript strings are natively represented as. However, when I point my browser to localhost:80, view the source, and save it to a local html file, Notepad++ tells me the file is encoded in UTF-16. Furthermore when I run it through the W3C html validator tool it also complains about "Internal encoding declaration utf-8 disagrees with the actual encoding of the document (utf-16)".
How do I force node.js to encode my HTTP response body as UTF 8?

maybe you have to do:
'Content-Type': 'application/xhtml+xml; charset=utf-8'
