1407616 - Edit and Resend functionality ignores request Content-Type charset for POST body encoding

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(DevTools :: Netmonitor, defect, P3)

Description

[Oleh Dmytrychenko]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:56.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/56.0
Build ID: 20171003100843

Steps to reproduce:

Set request method to POST.
Set request header: Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
Particular MIME-type didn't make any difference for me.
Populate Request Body with data containing non ISO-8859-1 characters, for instance {"data":"€10"}


Actual results:

Request Body is sent as {"data":"¬10"}


Expected results:

Request Body is sent in original form as {"data":"€10"}

Possible work-arounds:
Select existing request and use 'Copy as cURL' functionality. Submit cURL request with correct POST data.
For example: curl 'example.com' -H 'Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8' --data '{"data":"€10"}'

Another option is to use utf code points in place of symbols which are being malformed on POST.
For example: {"data":"\u20ac10"}
