>             Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: HttpClient
>    Affects Versions: 4.3.3
>            Reporter: Cservenak, Tamas
>            Priority: Minor

> One HTTP server serving up ZIP/JAR file sends this header in it's response:
> {noformat}
> Content-Type: application/zip; charset=binary
> {noformat}
> While this is _malformed_ header value (according to rfc2068 "Applications 
> SHOULD limit their use of character sets to those defined by the IANA 
> registry", and IANA does not define "binary"), HttpClient should be more 
> robust IMO.
> In this case, it might accept the mime type {{application/zip}} only and just 
> neglect the charset (that results in 
> {{java.nio.charset.UnsupportedCharsetException: binary}} anyway), since 
> {{application/zip}} is not a text subtype.
