It does seem fairly complicated to allow it to be set after the download is finished though. You do have the stream stored in .reponse[Text], but at that point all encoding information has been lost. For HTML parsing (which I hope the spec will support in the future) there are a pile of rules used to guess the encoding, all of which would be useful to use, but can't be used if all you have access to is the unencoded responseBody.
It would make sense for consistency with the other methods if the method throws if you try to invoke it after send() has been invoked. Can that still be changed in implementations? And maybe also throw a SYNTAX_ERR if it does not match the MIME type syntax (also for consistency).
