Karl Wright commented on HTTPCLIENT-1372:
-----------------------------------------
The class HttpMultipart.java has the following logic for multipart form parts:
{code}
MinimalField cd =
part.getHeader().getField(MIME.CONTENT_DISPOSITION);
writeField(cd, this.charset, out);
String filename = part.getBody().getFilename();
if (filename != null) {
MinimalField ct =
part.getHeader().getField(MIME.CONTENT_TYPE);
writeField(ct, this.charset, out);
}
{code}
This means that *only* in the form sections that have a filename set will there
be a content-type set. Unfortunately, that means that while by using
COMPATIBLE mode I can get the filename itself correctly decoded, I lose the
ability to get the rest of the form correctly decoded. I'm not convinced this
is intentional behavior, either.
Since this code is in HttpMultipart, I cannot see any way of overriding this
behavior in 4.2.x other than by overriding all the public methods of this class
in a new ModifiedMultiPartEntity class that basically does everything for form
processing. Oleg, do see any simpler way?

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1372
> Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: HttpMime
> Affects Versions: 4.2.5
> Reporter: Karl Wright
> Fix For: 4.3 Beta3
>
>
> The Content-disposition header, as it appears for an item of form data, does
> not allow for UTF-8 encoding as specified in RFC6266, as described here:
> http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6266
> This is causing ManifoldCF severe problems working in Japan with Solr, since
> Solr content extraction relies on accurate filenames in order to determine
> the likely document encoding.
> A fix for the 4.2.x branch will be needed, I am afraid.
