Arturo Bernal commented on HTTPCLIENT-2360:
-------------------------------------------
For what I understand, I would say something like this in FormBodyPartBuilder:
``` if (this.body.getFilename() != null) {
String filename = this.body.getFilename();
if (canEncodeToISO_8859_1(filename)) {
fieldParameters.add(new
BasicNameValuePair(MimeConsts.FIELD_PARAM_FILENAME, filename));
} else {
fieldParameters.add(new
BasicNameValuePair(MimeConsts.FIELD_PARAM_FILENAME_START,
encodeRFC5987(filename)));
}
}```
where
private static String encodeRFC5987(String filename) {
try {
return UTF8 + "''" + PercentCodec.RFC5987.encode(filename);
} catch (Exception e) {
return filename; // Fallback: return the original filename if
encoding fails
}
}
private static boolean canEncodeToISO_8859_1(final String input) {
return input.chars().allMatch(ch -> ch <= 255);
}

> Key: HTTPCLIENT-2360
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-2360
> Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: HttpClient (classic)
> Affects Versions: 5.4.1
> Reporter: Hiran Chaudhuri
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: volunteers-wanted
> Fix For: Stuck
>
>
> The following code creates a bad HTTP request:
>
> {code:java}
> File file = ...
> FileBody fileBody = new FileBody(sourceFile);
> MultipartEntityBuilder builder = MultipartEntityBuilder.create();
> builder.setMode(HttpMultipartMode.LEGACY);
> builder.addPart("document", fileBody);
> HttpEntity requestEntity = builder.build();
> URI endpoint = ...
> HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(endpoint.toString());
> httpPost.setEntity(requestEntity);
> httpClient.execute(httpPost, getHttpClientContext(), ...); {code}
> The request contains the file and a {{Content-Disposition}} header. Inside
> this header the filename is contained. So far so good.
>
> But as filesystems go international and support all kinds of characters, the
> {{filename}} header needs to be encoded in ISO-8859-1 or rfc5987 applies. But
> in reality HttpClient 5.4.1 uses UTF-8 encoding, which can break other
> servers trying to parse the request.
> I like to use this client a lot. Please enhance it to follow
> https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6266#page-5 which allows to use UTF-8
> encoding in the {{filename*}} header. Or even better, HttpClient fills both
> headers so the server can pick.
