[Slogger] EBay

[kinrowan]

I haven't Slogged an EBay page, but other pages with a php extension 
[like http://blogs.zdnet.com/Gillmor/index.php?p=74] and a tag =

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

gets slogged as a php file locally.

This is (as far as I can tell) consistent.  I have not looked at slogger 
setting to try to get around it.
