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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@hc.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@hc.apache.org
