Yup. It should use the encoding once it's manually set, and extract the one
supplied with Content-Type otherwise.

Something like that (pretty much like it's currently done in Tomcat):

public String getCharacterEncoding()
{
  // if the encoding is already set (by the previous call, or the "set"
method)
  // then just return it, otherwise extract it from the content type.
  return encoding != null ? encoding :
    encoding = getCharsetFromContentType( getContentType() );
}


Sincerely,
Dmitry.
