Sam Berlin commented on HTTPCLIENT-904:
---------------------------------------

What about a compromise -- a factory method that doesn't throw:

  /** An alternate to new StringBody(CharSet) that doesn't throw an exception. 
*/
  public static StringBody create(CharSet charSet) {
     try {
         return new StringBody(charSet);
     } catch(UnsupportedEncodingException uee) {        
         throw new RuntimeException(uee); // this should never happen
     }
 }

There's precedent in the URI class.  The URI constructor throws, and there's a 
factory URI.create method that doesn't declare the throwable.

> 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.
