Jan Høydahl commented on TIKA-431: ---------------------------------- End of week is good. As soon as 1.0 gets released, I'll try to get it into next Solr release.. > Tika currently misuses the HTTP Content-Encoding header, and does not seem to > use the charset part of the Content-Type header properly. > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: TIKA-431 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-431 > Project: Tika > Issue Type: Bug > Components: general > Reporter: Erik Hetzner > Assignee: Ken Krugler > > Tika currently misuses the HTTP Content-Encoding header, and does not seem to > use the charset part of the Content-Type header properly. > Content-Encoding is not for the charset. It is for values like gzip, deflate, > compress, or identity. > Charset is passed in with the Content-Type. For instance: text/html; > charset=iso-8859-1 > Tika should, in my opinion, do the following: > 1. Stop using Content-Encoding, unless it wants me to be able to pass in > gzipped content in an input stream. > 2. Parse and understand charset=... declarations if passed in the Metadata > object > 3. Return charset=... declarations in the Metadata object if a charset is > detected. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
