public class XmlStreamReader extends Reader
IMPORTANT: This class is not related in any way to the org.xml.sax.XMLReader. This one IS a character stream.
All this has to be done without consuming characters from the stream, if not the XML parser will not recognized the document as a valid XML. This is not 100% true, but it's close enough (UTF-8 BOM is not handled by all parsers right now, XmlStreamReader handles it and things work in all parsers).
The XmlStreamReader class handles the charset encoding of XML documents in Files, raw streams and HTTP streams by offering a wide set of constructors.
By default the charset encoding detection is lenient, the constructor with the lenient flag can be used for an script (following HTTP MIME and XML specifications). All this is nicely explained by Mark Pilgrim in his blog, Determining the character encoding of a feed.

public XmlStreamReader(File file) throws IOException
It looks for the UTF-8 BOM first, if none sniffs the XML prolog charset, if this is also missing defaults to UTF-8.
It does a lenient charset encoding detection, check the constructor with the lenient parameter for details.

It follows the same logic used for files.
If lenient detection is indicated and the detection above fails as per specifications it then attempts the following:
If the content type was 'text/html' it replaces it with 'text/xml' and tries the detection again.
Else if the XML prolog had a charset encoding that encoding is used.
Else if the content type had a charset encoding that encoding is used.
Else 'UTF-8' is used.
If lenient detection is indicated an XmlStreamReaderException is never thrown.

If the URL is not of type HTTP and there is not 'content-type' header in the fetched data it uses the same logic used for Files.
If the URL is a HTTP Url or there is a 'content-type' header in the fetched data it uses the same logic used for an InputStream with content-type.
