Description

As per org.apache.http.entity.mime.MultipartEntity constructor documentation:
> @param charset the character set to use, may be

{@code null}

, in which case

{@link MIME#DEFAULT_CHARSET}

- i.e. US-ASCII - is used.

But it appears that in 4.5 version, if null is passed then no charset part is written.

The same issue exists for FormBodyPart.
