Question

I’m using Jetty to test a webservice we have and I am trying to get it to respond with no charset under the content-type header.

Does anyone know how to do this?

I’ve tried intercepting the Response and setting the CharacterEncoding to null or ” but that gives Exceptions.

I am using Jetty 6.1.6.

I tried it my self now, but I must admit, my jetty is a very old one (4.2., but does everything the way I need it). I compared it to tomcat (4.1.29, old too). I checked the content type with the following code:

URL tomcatUrl = new URL('http://localhost:18080/ppi/jobperform/headertest')//tomcat; URLConnection tconnect = tomcatUrl.openConnection(); System.out.println('tomcat: ' + tconnect.getContentType());   URL jettyUrl = new URL('http://localhost:13818/ppi/jobperform/headertest')//jetty; URLConnection jconnect = jettyUrl.openConnection(); System.out.println('jetty: ' + jconnect.getContentType()); 

And the result was as follows:

Servlet code:

    response.setContentType('');     response.getWriter().write('Return'); 

=>
tomcat: ;charset=ISO-8859-1
jetty:

Servlet code:

     response.setContentType('text/plain');      response.getWriter().write('Return'); 

=>
tomcat: text/plain;charset=ISO-8859-1
jetty: text/plain

Servlet code:

response.setContentType('text/plain;charset=UTF-8'); response.getWriter().write('Return'); 

=>
tomcat: text/plain;charset=UTF-8
jetty: text/plain;charset=UTF-8

So it looks as if the older jetty does exactly what you want, while tomcat does what you got from the newer jetty.
