> In a couple of places we convert Strings to bytes and bytes back to Strings without explicitly specifying an encoding. This can lead to problems when client and server default encodings differ.
> The task of this JIRA is to go over the whole project and look for conversions where we don't specify an encoding and fix it to specify UTF-8 explicitly.
> For starters, we can {{grep -R 'getBytes()' .}}, which already reveals many problematic places.
