I am not sure I agree. BOM detection and handling is a responsibility of the CharsetDecoder, not that of HttpClient.

> The Byte order mark at the start of the input stream should be detected and removed by EntityUtils.toString, otherwise strange unwanted characters are left at the start.

> I'm not sure if EntityUtils.toString using the BOM to try to detect the encoding, but if it doesn't then it should.
> Example URL that is causing this issue is mircosoft virtual earth WSDL file:
> HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
> HttpGet httpget = new HttpGet("http://dev.virtualearth.net/webservices/v1/searchservice/searchservice.svc?wsdl");
> HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httpget);
> HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
> String textContents = EntityUtils.toString(entity);
