Returns:

the encoding found in the specified Content-Type value, or null if no encoding was found

sniffEncodingFromXmlDeclaration

public static Charset sniffEncodingFromXmlDeclaration(InputStream is)
                                               throws IOException

Searches the specified XML content for an XML declaration and returns the encoding if found, otherwise returns null.
