[jira] Created: (TIKA-431) Tika currently misuses the HTTP Content-Encoding header, and does not seem to use the charset part of the Content-Type header properly.

Tika currently misuses the HTTP Content-Encoding header, and does not seem to use the charset part of the Content-Type header properly.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: TIKA-431
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-431
             Project: Tika
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: general
            Reporter: Erik Hetzner


Tika currently misuses the HTTP Content-Encoding header, and does not seem to use the charset part of the Content-Type header properly.

Content-Encoding is not for the charset. It is for values like gzip, deflate, compress, or identity.

Charset is passed in with the Content-Type. For instance: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1

Tika should, in my opinion, do the following:

1. Stop using Content-Encoding, unless it wants me to be able to pass in gzipped content in an input stream.

2. Parse and understand charset=... declarations if passed in the Metadata object

3. Return charset=... declarations in the Metadata object if a charset is detected.

------------------------------------

Agreed, we should be using the charset parameter of the media type instead of the Content-Encoding header.

AFAICT we need to adjust the HtmlParser, MboxParser and TXTParser classes to do this. Any volunteers?

----------------------------------

I should have some time soon to do a once-over on a bunch of encoding-related issues.

-----------------------------------

See TIKA-341, apparently my suggestion (2) above is implemented already.

Thank you for anticipating this issue in advance! :)
