Paul Draper commented on HTTPCORE-431:
--------------------------------------
[~olegk], the Http Components project does include default encodings for common
text formats.
When I issue a request using ContentType.APPLICATION_JSON, the entity is UTF-8
encoded.
But when a receive a response for the same MIME type, the entity is decoded
with ISO-8859-1.
If content detection is out of scope, could we at least have application/json
entities decoded in UTF-8 by default? In fact, this was the original change I
was going to recommend.
> Correct character encoding default for application/json

> 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.
