> Key: HTTPCLIENT-1260
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1260
> Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: HttpClient
> Affects Versions: 4.2.2
> Environment: Android
> Reporter: Tim
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: documentation, newbie
> Fix For: 4.3 Alpha1
>
> Original Estimate: 5m
> Remaining Estimate: 5m

> (Sorry if this is the wrong component.)
> In the class `org.apache.http.entity.mime.content.StringBody`, there is the
> following code:
> /**
> * Create a StringBody from the specified text.
> * The mime type is set to "text/plain".
> * The hosts default charset is used.
> *
> * @param text to be used for the body, not {@code null}
> * @throws UnsupportedEncodingException
> * @throws IllegalArgumentException if the {@code text} parameter is null
> */
> public StringBody(final String text) throws UnsupportedEncodingException {
> this(text, "text/plain", null);
> }
> Note that it says "The hosts [sic] default charset is used.". This is
> incorrect. The code *always* uses US-ASCII no matter what the host's default
> charset is (e.g. on Android it is UTF-8).
> Quite annoying! It should read:
> /**
> * Create a StringBody from the specified text.
> * The mime type is set to "text/plain".
> * The charset is set to US-ASCII.
> *
> * @param text to be used for the body, not {@code null}
> * @throws UnsupportedEncodingException
> * @throws IllegalArgumentException if the {@code text} parameter is null
> */
> public StringBody(final String text) throws UnsupportedEncodingException {
> this(text, "text/plain", null);
> }
> I'd appreciate it if you could fix this, so future developers won't have the
> frustration of working out why their non-ascii characters are all being
> changed to question marks.
