>             Project: HttpComponents HttpCore
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: HttpCore
>    Affects Versions: 4.2.1
>            Reporter: Thomas Kruse
>
> The method
>     public static String toString( final HttpEntity entity, final String defaultCharset)
> delegates to
> public static String toString( final HttpEntity entity, final Charset defaultCharset) {
> ...
>    ContentType contentType = ContentType.getOrDefault(entity);
>    Charset charset = contentType.getCharset();
>    if (charset == null) {
>         charset = defaultCharset;
>    }
> ...
> }
> This method uses a default content type which has a charset set(!)
> public static ContentType getOrDefault(final HttpEntity entity) throws ParseException {
>         ContentType contentType = get(entity);
>         return contentType != null ? contentType : DEFAULT_TEXT;
>     }
> public static final ContentType DEFAULT_TEXT = TEXT_PLAIN;
> public static final ContentType TEXT_PLAIN = create( "text/plain", Consts.ISO_8859_1);
> This leads to the situation that the defaultCharset is not used but latin1 encoding from the default content type.
> The default content type should not have an encoding set to prevent this.
