Subject: charset detection in decode_content not working
from HTTP::Message: my $charset = lc( $opt{charset} || $self->content_type_charset || $opt{default_charset} || $self->content_charset || "ISO-8859-1" ); content_type_charset can only contains "text/html" without encoding informationen. But content_charset detect the right encoding from the meta-informations. But that is to late. And iso-8859-1 will then be blocked by the hardcoded list! I dont understand the code exactly, in content_charset it first calls $self->content_type_charset, but that returns different from my $obj->content_type_charset.

after another short test: there is a infinity loop in decoded_content. my $charset = lc( $opt{charset} || $self->content_type_charset || $opt{default_charset} || $self->content_charset || "ISO-8859-1" ); $self->content_charset will call other functions, that will call decoded_content ... (that part is from decoded_content).

What's you infinite loop test case?

i added for debug following at the same position: print "TEST1: ",$opt{charset},"\n"; print "TEST2: ",$self->content_type_charset,"\n"; print "TEST3: ",$opt{default_charset},"\n"; print "TEST4: ",$self->content_charset,"\n"; and i see: TEST1: xyz TEST2: xyz TEST3: xyz TEST1: xyz TEST2: xyz TEST3: xyz TEST1: xyz ...

Sorry, I'm not able to reproduce anything from this description. Please provide complete examples (that I can run here) that demonstrates failing charset detection and the infinite loop.
