Rest-Assured : By-passing Charset in the Request?

[Atindriyo Sanyal]

Hi there,

I'm calling an API (that I don't have the source code to) using rest-assured. I specify "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" as the content-type of the Request. But rest-assured appends the Charset to this content-type in the request.

So my request looks like this:

"Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=ISO-8859-1"

I know that ISO-8859-1 is a standard HTTP charset, but the API that I call is unable to process this.

Removing the charset part (Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded) gives me a 200 OK (I CURLed this).

I want to know, is there any way that I can exclude the "charset" in the request that I make through rest-assured? Just so that the External API doesn't get affected.

Thanks for the help in advance.

Regards,
Atindriyo

Hi, 

Do you know what charset the server is excepting? Perhaps you could just change the charset to that? For example changing the charset to UTF-8 for all requests can be done like this:

RestAssured.config = new RestAssuredConfig().encoderConfig(encoderConfig().defaultContentCharset("UTF-8"))

Regards,

/Johan

In case anyone runs else runs into this. There is a method called 'appendDefaultContentCharsetToContentTypeIfUndefined' used to fix this exact issue.

RestAssured.config = RestAssured.config().encoderConfig(encoderConfig().appendDefaultContentCharsetToContentTypeIfUndefined(false));
