> 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.
