Order of methods in PostMethod
I have just spent the best part of two days trying to work out why
a servlet running int Tomcat was not getting UTF-8 when I had set my
client to send UTF-8. It turns out that if I set my PostMethod request
header after setting the request body the content does not get sent as
UTF-8.
The following gets sent as UTF-8:
PostMethod post = new PostMethod(destinationUrl.toString());
post.setStrictMode(false);
post.setRequestHeader("Content-Type","text/xml; charset=UTF-8");
post.setRequestHeader("user-agent", "myAgent");
post.setRequestBody(content);
post.setFollowRedirects(true);
the following doesn't:
PostMethod post = new PostMethod(destinationUrl.toString());
post.setStrictMode(false);
post.setRequestBody(content);
post.setRequestHeader("Content-Type","text/xml; charset=UTF-8");
post.setRequestHeader("user-agent", "myAgent");
post.setFollowRedirects(true);
reading the following web page gives no indication of this:
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/charencodings.html
Is this a bug or something that is not clear in the docs.

Hi again Andre,
Probably a bit of both I'd say. I will leave the decision on whether
or not to change the behaviour of HttpClient to the Oleg, Mike, Jeff
and co but will provide a patch for the documentation tonight. Thanks
for pointing it out.
Adrian Sutton.

Yes, it appears we have introduced an ordering dependency here. I
would qualify this as a bug. One should be able to set these values in
any order and have things work. Andre would you add this to bugzilla?
If we don't fix this one before beta1 it should be included in the
release notes.
