             Summary: org.apache.http.entity.ContentType#get method is too strict regarding malformed Content-Type headers
                 Key: HTTPCLIENT-1514
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1514
             Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: HttpClient
    Affects Versions: 4.3.3
            Reporter: Cservenak, Tamas
            Priority: Minor


One HTTP server serving up ZIP/JAR file sends this header in it's response:

{noformat}
Content-Type: application/zip; charset=binary
{noformat}

While this is _malformed_ header value (according to rfc2068 "Applications SHOULD limit their use of character sets to those defined by the IANA registry", and IANA does not define "binary"), HttpClient should be more robust IMO.

In this case, it might accept the mime type {{application/zip}} only and just neglect the charset (that results in {{java.nio.charset.UnsupportedCharsetException: binary}} anyway), since {{application/zip}} is not a text subtype.
