> you see that the default charset to read a body is StandardCharsets.US_ASCII which is not correct that should be StandardCharsets.ISO_8859_1

> i know the server should specify the encoding because of the different interpretations, but we don't always control the server and what they are doing, but according to the spec:
> [https://www.w3.org/International/articles/http-charset/index]
> the default should be that ISO_8859_1
> Now clients of us that are using this suddenly see that german umlauts are not transferred correctly which with HC4 they worked fine.
