Alberto Massari commented on XERCESC-1967:
------------------------------------------
In my opinion, the parser should obey only to the encoding seen in the XML
declaration, as it has no control on whatever envelope was used to transmit the
XML. It's up to the code involved in the transmission of the XML to decide how
to encode/decode the data for its communication channel; so, speaking of
Xerces, the entity resolver that reads from HTTP should read the content-type
and force this encoding in the parser. I'll check if this is working as
expected.
> Xerces ignores (deletes, swallow, ignores) the UTF-8 BOM and also ignores the
> charset parameter of the HTTP content-type: header
