HttpUrlConnection读取inputstream-不同的输出结果

Question

Below method is designed to get source code of html page of given url, but it returns result in different charset in each call (in every call argument url is same), please, explain me why?

private String getSourceCode(URL url) {
    HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
    conn.setRequestProperty("User-Agent", "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel MacOS X 10.4; en-US; rv:1.9.2.2) Gecko/20100316 Firefox/3.6.2");

    return IOUtils.toString(conn.getInputStream()); 
}

Answer 1

Actually there are several possible reasons. For example behind the URL there can actually be several different servers with different default encoding of response. First call can be served by server with utf-8, the other can be served by another server with another encoding.
