I'm crashing due to a header that comes back in a response

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unexpected char 0x41c at 74 in Content-Disposition value:  inline; filename="7326f70a-1b88-4ff8-afc8-5f52190c7052b7179b07fcb968827a_Мала.jpg"

I wrote this interceptor and I set it as a network interceptor, but I still get the same crash (as if the interceptor doesn't even get applied). Can anyone point me in the right direction?

private val REMOVE_HEADER_INTERCEPTOR = Interceptor { chain ->
  val originalResponse = chain.proceed(chain.request())
  originalResponse.newBuilder()
    .removeHeader("Content-Disposition")
    .build()
}

anything other than printable ASCII in headers is not supported

[Colton Idle]

oof. i figured they weren't supported, but itd still allow me to remove those headers. hopefully i can find some docs to show my server team that non ascii chars shouldn't be used in headers.

okhttp is throwing before your intercepter gets run

Appendix D.  Advice on Generating Content-Disposition Header Fields

[ephemient]

basically modern standards recommend that content-disposition filename is only ascii with no escapes because anything else is handled inconsistently

[ephemient]

also https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc9112/ basically says only USASCII needs to be supported and full Unicode support leads to vulnerabilities

Thanks for the resources. This is definitely a TIL. Thank you @ephemient!

This isn’t a request or a response header, but a multipart header?

[jessewilson]

I think the solution is to change OkHttp’s multipart code to decode the headers with lenient code

[Colton Idle]

I'm trying to just load an image with coil and @Colin White helped me debug to figure out that this was the issue. So I'm not really sure if this is a multipart header (not sure what that is).

It would be really nice if it was lenient so I can intercept and rewrite a broken server like I do with my servers broken caching impl.

[ephemient]

is that part of a multipart header? I expected it's just a normal response header from the question
