Charsets not handled with contentTypes

[melvincarvalho]

It seems in many cases contentType contains a charset :

https://www.w3.org/International/articles/http-charset/index

However this would appear to break node-webid with a rather cryptic error message. This means that many webids will fail to log in to an unpatched node solid server, leading to inconsistent behaviour and possible user frustration

Possible code to fix may be along the lines of :

if (mimeType && mimeType.length) {
  mimeType = mimeType.split(';')[0]
}

solid-web-client solved it in this PR solid-contrib/solid-web-client#12

rdflib.js also now seems to handle that: linkeddata/rdflib.js#167

[webr3]

fixed at root level in $rdf.parse to ensure consistent behaviour

Just an update on this issue.

I have tested with the latest node solid server which uses the latest rdflib 0.15.0 however the error still remains

solid:authentication Error processing certificate: undefined

node-webid itself has old version of rdflib as dependency

https://github.com/linkeddata/node-webid/blob/master/package.json#L47
"rdflib": "^0.2.6"
