Hi, I need to construct a multipart/mixed request with (a) Set Content-type hdr (along with charset) for individual mime part (b) Encode filename in the Content-Disposition hdr's using that charset (ex: for multibyte file names).
Using http-components 4.0, I extended MultiPartEntity (generateContentType()) to create a request with multipart/mixed content-type. I achieved (a) by extending InputStreamBody to provide getCharset(), mode as STRICT. However there seems to be no easy way to achieve (b) as the content-disposion filename is encoded using the charset only in BROWSER_COMPATIBLE mode. Unfortunately, the relevant methods in MultiPartEntity cannot be overriden/extended as it uses private final instances of HttpMultiPart (and why ?). Seems like writing a new class (ex: MultipartMixedEntity) implementing HttpEntity - which then uses an extended HttpMultipart seem to be the only solution and this adds a *lot* of redundant code. And this seems to be no different wit 4.1 alpha as well Any other ideas ? Thanks Sai
