Text & Charsets

note

This help topic is in development and will be updated in the future.

This feature allows to process the plain text content in request and response: fills Accept header with registered charsets, encode request body and decode response body according to ContentType charset.

Configuration

If no configuration specified in configuration or HTTP call properties, Charsets.UTF_8 is used by default.

val client = HttpClient(HttpClientEngine) {
    Charsets {
        // Allow to use `UTF_8`.
        register(Charsets.UTF_8)
        // Allow to use `ISO_8859_1` with quality 0.1.
        register(Charsets.ISO_8859_1, quality=0.1f)
F
        // Specify Charset to send request(if no charset in request headers).
        sendCharset = ...
        // Specify Charset to receive response(if no charset in response headers).
        responseCharsetFallback = ...
    }
}
