Oleg Kalnichevski commented on HTTPCLIENT-1372:
-----------------------------------------------
Believe it or not, but this is how old browsers used to behave. We can choose
to discontinue support for such behavior in 4.3 and upgrade the browser
compatibility mode to something more up to date. This would require though
someone to invest a few hours figuring out how Firefox, Chrome and IE go about
generating multipart content these days and whether or they behavior is
consistent enough. At any rate I see no way around doing some work on
HttpMultipart in order to get the behavior you want.
In your particular case though you could also consider using Mime4j instead of
HttpMime which should give you a full control over the process of MIME content
generation. The only trouble with Mime4j that it is still API unstable and
there is no hope of a 1.0 release any time soon.

> Key: HTTPCLIENT-1372
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1372
> Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: HttpMime
> Affects Versions: 4.2.5
> Reporter: Karl Wright
> Fix For: 4.3 Beta3
>
>
> The Content-disposition header, as it appears for an item of form data, does
> not allow for UTF-8 encoding as specified in RFC6266, as described here:
> http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6266
> This is causing ManifoldCF severe problems working in Japan with Solr, since
> Solr content extraction relies on accurate filenames in order to determine
> the likely document encoding.
> A fix for the 4.2.x branch will be needed, I am afraid.
