Question

I have the following code:

  HttpHeaders requestHeaders = new HttpHeaders();
  requestHeaders.setAccept(Collections.singletonList(new MediaType("text","plain;charset=UTF-8")));

However this throw me an IllegalArgumentException. The problem is that I want to set the charset as UTF-8 without change it from the config file. Is this possible?

Answer 1

According to the API doc IllegalArgumentException is thrown if MediaType fails to convert itself to String.

Try the following:

requestHeaders.setAccept(
    Arrays.asList(new MediaType("text", "plain", Charset.forName("UTF-8")))
);
