def body_encoding=(value)
  value = Encoding.find(value) if value.is_a?(String)
  @body_encoding = value
end

Sets the encoding that should be used when reading the body:

If the given value is an Encoding object, that encoding will be used.
Otherwise if the value is a string, the value of Encoding#find(value) will be used.
Otherwise an encoding will be deduced from the body itself.

Examples:

Example

http = Net::HTTP.new(hostname)
req = Net::HTTP::Get.new('/')

http.request(req) do |res|
  p res.body.encoding # => #<Encoding:ASCII-8BIT>
end

http.request(req) do |res|
  res.body_encoding = "UTF-8"
  p res.body.encoding # => #<Encoding:UTF-8>
end
