: I was reviewing the httpclient code in HttpSolrServer and noticed that
: it sets a "Content-Charset" header. As far as I know this is not a real
: header and is not necessary. Anyone know a reason for this to be there?
: I'm guessing this was just a mistake when converting from httpclient3 to
: httpclient4.
yeah ... looking at the diffs this was added in r1327635 as part of
SOLR-2020 .. if you compare with the old CommonsHttpSolrServer.java the
lines of code sami seemed to be trying to replicate was...
post.getParams().setContentCharset("UTF-8");
...i suspect we've just been getting luck that the default is
already UTF-8, and/or the subsequent code is always specific about the
charset when adding streams -- but fixing that to call the equivilent
"new" method in httpclient4 would be a good idea.
Michael: Would you might opening a jira for this? (I don't suppose you
know what the correct equivilent method/option in httpclient4 is do you?)
