[jira] Created: (HTTPCLIENT-905)
HttpMethodBase.getResponseCharSet() returns ISO-8859-1 when no charset is
specified in the Content-Type header

Key: HTTPCLIENT-905
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-905
Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Documentation
Affects Versions: 3.1 Final
Reporter: Jens Askengren
If no charset is specified in the Content-Type header, ISO-8859-1 is returned by HttpMethodBase.getResponseCharSet().
In this case I would expect NULL to be returned so my application can fall back on content sniffing when the return value is not trustworthy.
The HttpMethodBase.getResponseCharSet() and HttpMethodBase.getContentCharSet() methods seems to both return the charset specified in Content-Type header. What's the difference? The documentation is not clear.

Re: [jira] Created: (HTTPCLIENT-905) HttpMethodBase.getResponseCharSet()

Posted by 傅玉宝 <fu...@gmail.com>.
If no charset is specified in the Content-Type header, ISO-8859-1 is
returned by HttpMethodBase
this is beacuse the HttpClient return the default charset which is
ISO-8859-1

[jira] Resolved: (HTTPCLIENT-905)
HttpMethodBase.getResponseCharSet() returns ISO-8859-1 when no charset is
specified in the Content-Type header
Posted by "Oleg Kalnichevski (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>.
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-905?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Oleg Kalnichevski resolved HTTPCLIENT-905.
------------------------------------------
Resolution: Invalid
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2616.html
3.7.1 Canonicalization and Text Defaults
...
The "charset" parameter is used with some media types to define the
character set (section 3.4) of the data. When no explicit charset
parameter is provided by the sender, media subtypes of the "text"
type are defined to have a default charset value of "ISO-8859-1" when
received via HTTP.
...
As to your question, lots of things in the 3.x API simply do not make sense. 3.x is nearing end of life. You should consider upgrading to 4.0.x
