Paul Draper created HTTPCORE-431:
------------------------------------
Summary: Correct character encoding default for application/json
Key: HTTPCORE-431
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCORE-431
Project: HttpComponents HttpCore
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: HttpCore
Reporter: Paul Draper
Priority: Minor
RFC 4627 and RFC 7159 require that parsers auto-detect the encoding of
application/json. UTF-8 is the suggested default, though it's possible to
detect the encoding of valid JSON unambiguously.
Currently, EntityUtils.toString defaults to ISO-8859-1 (the default for text
formats without a charset parameter).
Given how common application/json is, it would be great for
EntityUtils.toString to use the correct encoding.
