JSON with special characters

Hi All,
In my last Topic I was building a POST to a API. That is working fine right now with normal characters, the specials like "é" and "ë" are a problem right now. If I post this JSON with Postman everything is working fine:
Code: Select all
{"parcel":{"address":"Kattegat 18","city":"Groningen","company_name":"Tëst ","country":"NL","email":"support@none.nl","name":"Tést","order_number":"1234","parcel_items":[{"description":"BOEKEN","quantity":1,"sku":"97890828","value":"0","weight":"1"}],"postal_code":"9723JP","sender_address":57138,"shipment":{"id":492},"telephone":""}}
If I use the same JSON in Enfocus Switch and make a POST I get a empty response, no error nothing. The header I use "Content-Type:application/json" does someone have a idea what i'm doeing wrong?
Kind regards, Martijn

Curious -- does your web server/API get the request? Is it returning an empty response? Or is the request not even getting there?

Yes, it is returning a empty response. No error. If I use a JSON without special characters everything is working fine.

Could be a encoding issue. How do you create your json on the Switch server, and how do you post?
e.g. If you create your json via FileWrite try using UTF-8: File.write(json, jsonBody,'UTF-8')

We use the app "Make JSON" and the POST function in Enfocus. I have add some screenshots.

Ouch, you posted in scripting. I’m not sure about these 3rd party apps. Do you have the scripting module?

Now I’m thinking of it, try this header, might work:
Content-Type: application/json;charset=utf-8

I don'y have the scripting module. I have tested with the header "Content-Type: application/json;charset=utf-8" but that doesn't change anything. Can it be a bug in Switch?

Can you confirm that with the logs from the API server? You could log out the request body received by the API server and see what Switch is doing to the payload.
