             Summary: Unnecessary Content-Charset header in HttpSolrServer
                 Key: SOLR-6360
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-6360
             Project: Solr
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: clients - java
    Affects Versions: 4.9, 3.6
            Reporter: Michael Ryan
            Priority: Minor


The httpclient code in HttpSolrServer currently sets a "Content-Charset" header 
when making a POST request:
{code}post.setHeader("Content-Charset", "UTF-8");{code}
As far as I know this is not a real header and is not necessary. It seems this 
was a mistake in the original implementation of this class, when converting 
from httpclient v3 to httpclient v4. CommonsHttpSolrServer did this, which is 
what the line of code seems to have been on:
{code}post.getParams().setContentCharset("UTF-8");{code}
The actual way to set the charset in httpclient v4 is already being done 
correctly, with these lines:
{code}parts.add(new FormBodyPart(p, new StringBody(v, StandardCharsets.UTF_8)));
post.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(postParams, 
StandardCharsets.UTF_8));{code}

So basically, the Content-Charset line can just be removed.

(I think the explicit setting of the Content-Type header also might be 
unnecessary, but I haven't taken the time to investigate that.)
