Check for correct content-type in URLEncodedUtils not working for 
encoding-suffixes

                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-880
             Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: HttpClient
    Affects Versions: 4.0 Beta 2
            Reporter: Andreas Eternach


Dear DEV-Team,

i am developing an application with the httpclient. Today i found a small 
problem, related to URLEncodedUtils.

Our Tomcat-Server deliveres for Server-Requests, the HTTP-Header: 
"Content-Type=application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=UTF-8", but the 
httpclient only checks for: "Content-Type=application/x-www-form-urlencoded". 
This failing check results in an empty result of call to the method: 
URLEncodedUtils.parse(entity);

Following source-code causes the prob: 

public class URLEncodedUtils {

    /**
     * Returns true if the entity's Content-Type header is
     * <code>application/x-www-form-urlencoded</code>.
     */
    public static boolean isEncoded (final HttpEntity entity) {
        final Header contentType = entity.getContentType();
        return (contentType != null && 
contentType.getValue().equalsIgnoreCase(CONTENT_TYPE));
    }
}

IMO the method should be changed to:


public class URLEncodedUtils {

    /**
     * Returns true if the entity's Content-Type header is
     * <code>application/x-www-form-urlencoded</code>.
     */
    public static boolean isEncoded (final HttpEntity entity) {
        final Header contentType = entity.getContentType();
        return (contentType != null && 
contentType.getValue().startsWith(CONTENT_TYPE + ";"));
    }
}

Best Regards,
