funny, I was looking into this yesterday!
I am by no means an expert, but I think that what it is happening is the
following:
application/json implies UTF-8: if you look at the MediaType class from
akka http you se the declaration:
I believe you are correct, http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4627.txt says:
3. Encoding
JSON text SHALL be encoded in Unicode. The default encoding is UTF-8.
so an explicit MIME type isn't required if the content is UTF-8 - but
other JSON frameworks do often seem to include the UTF-8 charset.
As far as I know there's no "proper" way of forcing the addition of the
charset to the application/json content type in Akka-HTTP but it is
possible to hack around it:
val ct = ContentType(MediaType.custom("application/json",
false).asInstanceOf[MediaType.WithOpenCharset], HttpCharset.custom("utf-8"))
