375776 - should set charset on submission's content type

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core Graveyard :: XForms, defect)

Description

[aaronr]

Currently we don't put in the content type field (of the request header) what encoding we used for the submission body, even though we do put in the submitted xml document what the encoding type is.  We should probably mimic Chiba and formsPlayer and do that.  We've had a user already run into this issue and it was screwing up his servlet code.

Looks like charset can get set via SOAP, too.  So if we blindly append charset like formsPlayer, for example, then there will be two charsets listed in the content type...one from the mediatype charset MIME parameter and one from the encoding attribute.

I've asked the WG what should happpen:
