How to get UTF-8 result from getText()?

I tried to reproduce this issue by getting a "korean" file, looks good to me:

ClientResource cr = new ClientResource("http://www.samsung.com/common/next/js/src/menuTagging.js");

System.out.println(IoUtils.toString(cr.get().getStream()));
cr.get().getText().getBytes("UTF-8");
cr.get().write(System.out);
System.out.println(cr.get().getText());

Could you try to just write the stream into a file and use some tool to detect the file character set? On linux, you can launch this command "file -bi".

Running this code on the server works fine. Adding cr.get().write(new FileWriter("log")) and checking the charset of the log file returns text/x-c++; charset=utf-8.

Hi @cunger , could you use cr.get().write(new FileOutputStream("log")) instead in order to preserve the stream of bytes? Using FileWriter decode the bytes into characters.

Sure, sorry. The result is the same, though...
