I am using the HTTP-connector to sent a message with content-type application/json. I use a nvarchar(max) variable for the content input. I would like to know whether the http-connector sends the message UTF-8 encoded or UTF-16 encoded.
I would like to use a Content-Type application/json; charset=utf-8 but I suspect I have to encode the content as UTF-8. Is this best done using a varbinary(max) or should I do this in a different way?
Hope anyone can help.
Hello Hugo,
The HTTP connector will convert varchar and nvarchar strings in the Request content input parameter to binary data using the UTF-8 encoding. So in your case, I don’t think you have to worry about the encoding. Should you want a different encoding than UTF-8, then you should use a varbinary process variable and encode the data yourself in some other way.
I hope this helps.
Thanks Vincent, that was exactly what I needed to know.
