HttpCore does not support RFC2231 headers, nor there are plans to add it in the future, simply because it is out of scope. However, RFC2231 aware header parser / formatter could be a welcome addition to the HttpMime module of HttpClient http://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client/httpmime/index.html > If neither, I have code to contribute, but would love some advice as > to the best way to integrate this as I'm not (yet) familiar with the > code structure and design philosophy of httpcomponents.
