I have run into a very similar issue lately.
One thing that Paul (Sandoz) mentionned when discussing this is that
some platforms
(e.g. macs using OS X) do not default to UTF-8 but for instance to
ISO-8859-1 (Latin-1)
in the English locale. Maybe this is the case here?
Some possible solutions:
- Use Document.class as the class in webResource.get() or post().
- Make sure strings are created with Charset.forName("UTF-8")
