Subject: [jira] Commented: (SOLR-2347) Use InputStream and not Reader for
 XML parsing
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit


    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-2347?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12990132#comment-12990132 ] 

Uwe Schindler commented on SOLR-2347:
-------------------------------------

To again post the most important info from XML spec how to handle charset detection:

{quote}
XML parsers by definition only take a byte stream and a charset hint and use the XML 1.0 spec to determince the charset: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#charencoding and http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#sec-guessing

> Followup to SOLR-96:
> Solr mostly uses java.io.Reader and passes this Reader to the XML parser. According to XML spec, a XML file should be initially seen as a binary stream with a default charset of UTF-8 or another charset given by the network protocol (like Content-Type header in HTTP). But very important, this default charset is only a "hint" to the parser - mandatory is the charset from the XML header processing inctruction. Because of this, the parser must be able to change the charset when reading the XML headers (possibly also when seeing BOM markers). This is not possible if the XML parser gets a java.io.Reader instead of java.io.InputStreams. SOLR-96 already fixed this for the XmlUpdateRequestHandler and the DocumentAnalysisRequestHandler. This issue should fix the rest to be conforming to XML-spec (open schema.xml and config.xml as InputStream not Reader and others).
> This change would not break anything in Solr (perhaps only backwards compatibility in the API), as the default used by XML parsers is UTF-8.
