Yonik Seeley commented on SOLR-443:
-----------------------------------
bq. I can confirm that setting the content type manually to
"application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8" works, but that seems like a
dirty hack to me. There's no standard/specification/.. covering that.
I agree it's a bit hackish... but that's the state of things. I'm more
concerned if it actually works everywhere (and I was surprised that it seems
to). I imagine in the future, UTF-8 will be the standard... there's no getting
around it unless one want's to just ban x-www-form-urlencoded POST for
non-ascii, and that doesn't seem reasonable.
I started using POST because the queries could go over the size limits of GET
(so that's yet another hack). Using multi-part would really blow up the size
of these requests, and could actually become a bottleneck when the number of
servers is high.

> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: clients - java
> Affects Versions: 1.2
> Environment: Tomcat 6.0.14
> Reporter: Andrew Schurman
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: SOLR-443-multipart.patch, solr-443.patch,

> When sending a query via POST, the content-type is not set. The content
> charset for the POST parameters are set, but this only appears to be used for
> creating the Content-Length header in the commons library. Since a query is
> encoded in UTF-8, the http headers should also specify content type charset.
> On Tomcat, this causes problems when the query string contains non-ascii
> characters (characters with accents and such) as it tries to parse the POST
> body in its default ISO-9886-1. There appears to be no way to set/change the
> default encoding for a message body on Tomcat.
