Oleg Kalnichevski commented on HTTPCLIENT-1643:
-----------------------------------------------

If code needs to handle all sorts of non-standard encoding you might want to 
disable automatic content decompression and perform decoding manually

{code:java}
try (CloseableHttpClient client = HttpClients.custom()
        .disableContentCompression()
        .build()) {
    final HttpGet get = new 
HttpGet("http://meta.ats.hrsmart.com/cgi-bin/a/alljobs.cgi";);
    try (CloseableHttpResponse response = client.execute(get)) {
        System.out.println(response.getStatusLine());
    }
}
{code}

>             Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: HttpClient
>    Affects Versions: 4.4.1
>            Reporter: Julien Nioche
>
> The following URL can be fetched by curl 
> {code}
> curl -I http://meta.ats.hrsmart.com/cgi-bin/a/alljobs.cgi
> HTTP/1.1 200 OK
> Date: Wed, 22 Apr 2015 15:49:52 GMT
> Server: Apache/1.3.33 (Debian GNU/Linux) mod_throttle/3.1.2 PHP/4.3.10-15 
> mod_ssl/2.8.22 OpenSSL/0.9.7e
> P3P: CP="CAO DSP COR CUR HIS OUR IND STA"
> Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
> Content-Encoding: script 
> {code}
> but not by HttpClient as the Content-Encoding value returned by the server is 
> invalid. This results in a org.apache.http.client.ClientProtocolException 
> being thrown.
> Instead of failing the whole fetch, couldn't you treat an illegal value like 
> this to be empty or have a default value?
