Curtiss Howard commented on MYFACES-1814:
-----------------------------------------
I believe MyFaces is doing the correct thing in regards to parsing the charset
out of the Content-Type header. Parameters (e.g., "charset=UTF-8") for media
types are defined in section 3.6 of RFC2616 (HTTP/1.1) as being:
attribute "=" value
The spec does not indicate that any delimiter besides "=" can be used and thus
I would argue that the application needs to be changed to be in line with
accepted standards.
> be more tolerant and also parse "charset:UTF-8" in addition to "charset=UTF-8"
