[PATCH v4] http: fix charset detection of extract_content_type()

[PATCH v4] http: fix charset detection of extract_content_type()

[Yi EungJun]

From: Yi EungJun <eungjun.yi@navercorp.com>

extract_content_type() could not extract a charset parameter if the
parameter is not the first one and there is a whitespace and a following
semicolon just before the parameter. For example:

    text/plain; format=fixed ;charset=utf-8

And it also could not handle correctly some other cases, such as:

    text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=fixed
    text/plain; some-param="a long value with ;semicolons;"; charset=utf-8

Oops, I fixed the whitespace error.
