SolrJ GET operation does not send correct encoding
--------------------------------------------------

                 Key: SOLR-1959
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-1959
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: clients - java
    Affects Versions: 1.4.1, Next
            Reporter: Lance Norskog


The SolrJ query operation fails to set the character encoding when doing a GET. 
It works when doing a POST.

The problem is that URLs are urlencoded with UTF-8 but the Content-type: header 
is not set. I tested it with "Content-Type:text/plain;charset=utf-8" and that 
worked. The Content-type header encoding defaults to ISO 8859-1.

The result is that SolrJ queries fail for any search with a character above 
127. The work around is to use a POST query instead of a GET. I have not 
searched for other places. So, change: 
{code}
QueryResponse qr = CommonsHttpSolrServer.query(query);
{code}
to:
{code}
QueryResponse qr = CommonsHttpSolrServer.query(query, SolrRequest.METHOD.POST);
{code}
One quirk of this behavior is that url-bashing a query string with an ISO 
8859-1 character (like an umlaut) works in a browser, but fails in a SolrJ 
request.. It also searches correctly from the admin/index.jsp and 
admin/form.jsp pages, because they set the content-type in the FORM 
declaration.
