Oleg Kalnichevski commented on HTTPCLIENT-1037:
-----------------------------------------------

ContentDescriptor was copied from mime4j and its javadocs are wrong with regards to nullability of mimeType and transferEncoding.

> The FormBodyPart does not agree with ContentDescriptor Javadoc wrt nullability of mimeType and transferEncoding:
> The code in FormBodyPart explicitly allows mimeType and transferEncoding to be null, in which case the relevant header is not generated.
> This is useful behaviour, as the headers are not necessaruly needed.
> However the bahaviour disagrees with the Javadoc in the ContentDescriptor interface - null is not allowed.
> Also, AbstractContentBody does not allow mime-type to be null.
