            Bug ID: 65834
           Summary: UTF8 instead of ISO-8859-1 by default for
                    sampleresult.default.encoding
           Product: JMeter
           Version: 5.4.3
          Hardware: PC
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: HTTP
          Assignee: issues@jmeter.apache.org
          Reporter: sebastian.b...@endava.com
  Target Milestone: JMETER_5.5

When a browser get response from server through HTTP protocol, all chars are
returned as UTF-8 encoded.

By default in jmeter.properties file, it is set for for
sampleresult.default.encoding=ISO-8859-1

It would be better to have set the sampleresult.default.encoding=UTF-8 by
default in jmeter.properties file to have HTTP Request behaving more closely to
the browser.

Where do this have impact?
When using RegEx to extract some part from response, for cases where we have
white spaces like   in HTML, we got some  character instead of space. We
had to update manually jmeter.properties file in order to be able to extract
the string we wanted.
