             Summary: defaultCharset in EntityUtils.toString never works if there is no ContentType in a http response
                 Key: HTTPCORE-328
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCORE-328
             Project: HttpComponents HttpCore
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: HttpCore
    Affects Versions: 4.2.3
            Reporter: kuyurmoe


There is a http response with 500 status and error message encoded in UTF-8 in ContentBody, but without ContentType header.
When using EntityUtils.toString to get message like:
  EntityUtils.toString(response.getEntity(), "UTF-8")
the defaultCharset will never work.

The real charset becomes ISO_8859_1 because ContentType.getOrDefault(entity) will return a ContentType holding a never null  charset(ISO_8859_1). It can not be overrided by defaultCharset anymore.
