Mark Sinke commented on HTTPCLIENT-904:
---------------------------------------
Sebb,
You rightly point out that consumers *when they recompile* need to change their
code - but the thing they need to do is to remove a catch block for an
exception that is never thrown. If they go through the mechanics of upgrading
the library beyond just a binary replace of the jar file, I'm sure they will be
happy to remove the dead code.
Oleg,
I'd be delighted to see the code fixed. The 4.0 HttpClient is so much better
than 3.0. Fixing this issue would remove an unnecessary nuisance introduced
with 4.0, which we can still fix at this stage.
Thanks,
Mark.

> Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: HttpMime
> Affects Versions: 4.0.1
> Reporter: Mark Sinke
>
> The string body constructors that take a charset unnecessarily throw
> UnsupportedEncodingException - if you have Charset, the encoding is by
> definition supported:
> public StringBody(
> final String text,
> final String mimeType,
> Charset charset) throws UnsupportedEncodingException {
> super(mimeType);
> if (text == null) {
> throw new IllegalArgumentException("Text may not be null");
> }
> if (charset == null) {
> charset = Charset.defaultCharset();
> }
> this.content = text.getBytes(charset.name());
> this.charset = charset;
> }
>
> public StringBody(final String text, Charset charset) throws
> UnsupportedEncodingException {
> this(text, "text/plain", charset);
> }
>
> I suggest to change this to
> public StringBody(
> final String text,
> final String mimeType,
> Charset charset) {
> super(mimeType);
> if (text == null) {
> throw new IllegalArgumentException("Text may not be null");
> }
> if (charset == null) {
> charset = Charset.defaultCharset();
> }
> this.content = text.getBytes(charset);
> this.charset = charset;
> }
>
> public StringBody(final String text, Charset charset) {
> this(text, "text/plain", charset);
> }
> The important change is to change
> this.content = text.getBytes(charset.name());
> to
> this.content = text.getBytes(charset);
> which will not throw and hence the throws specifications can be removed.
