-----------------------------------------
Hi Oleg,
I'm not arguing for removal of the BROWSER_COMPATIBLE mode, provided you are
convinced this is the way browsers actually behave. It's hard to believe that
it actually works, though, because the encoding of fields other than the one
with the filename is left as mime default (ISO-8859-1) with no way to change
it. I can believe that browsers might omit the Content-Type field unless the
encoding differed from ISO-8859-1, but I find it hard to believe they'd
*always* omit it.
I'm in no position to do extensive testing with multiple browsers, as you know.
And it is probably more productive to create a multipart mode corresponding to
RFC6532 than to mess with the BROWSER_COMPATIBLE mode that is in place - unless
we can show that the BROWSER_COMPATIBLE mode is not really browser compatible
after all. Which is why I raise the issue.

> Key: HTTPCLIENT-1372
> 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.
