> Key: HTTPCLIENT-2244
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-2244
> Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: HttpClient (async)
> Affects Versions: 5.1.3
> Reporter: Johan Compagner
> Priority: Major
>
> here (and in the getBodyBytes() above ):
> [httpcomponents-client/SimpleBody.java at master · apache/httpcomponents-client (github.com)|https://github.com/apache/httpcomponents-client/blob/master/httpclient5/src/main/java/org/apache/hc/client5/http/async/methods/SimpleBody.java#L86]
>
> 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
>
> this was the case in HC 4.x also described in the docs: [https://hc.apache.org/httpclient-legacy/charencodings.html]
>
> 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.
