Title:
  Biblegateway serves defect UTF8 for chinese bibles and breaks the
  charset detection

Status in OpenLP - Worship Presentation Software:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  This was still mentioned on the forum. As I'm not sure, when I find
  the time to work on it, I write tis report.

  When downloading references like:
  http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%203&version=CUV
  the received HTML is UTF-8 encoded. The last two characters in <meta name="description" content="... are invalid UTF-8. This causes BeautifulSoup to fall back to cp1252 (which is wrong).
  Forcing BeautifulSoup to use UTF-8 didn't work for me. It still fell back to cp1252. The best thing would be to rewrite the regarding codes for all three servers in lxml as the use of LXML is even recommended by BeautifulSoup and it would make more sense to unify the library use in OpenLP.
