Description
|
The Charset protected constructor runs the private method checkName over all charset names and aliases. This function does not accept the '+' customer which is part of the IANA alias 'PC-Multilingual-850+euro' among others (see http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets). All IANA aliases should be accepted by the constructor.

Evaluation

This is an RFE, not a bug. The specification of the Charset class describes
precisely which characters are legal in charset names, but '+' is unfortunately
not among them. It would be reasonable to revise the Charset specification to
allow this, but we can't do that until the next feature release.

SoftTouch
This really is a bug. The documentation for the Charset class API states that "Charset names generally follow the conventions documented in RFC 2278: IANA Charset Registration Procedures." The RFC does not exclude '+'.
The Charset class specification conflicts with itself.
If IANA names are suppose to be the basis of this API, then all IANA names and aliases should be supported.

I agree this is a bug not an RFE.
