Non visible characters in http logs
Hi everyone,
I have been having a problem that is being driving crazy so I am hoping for your help.
I have been using SoapUI open source for years on Windows machines and never had this issue.
On MacOs I am constantly having the following problem when I copy paste String from anywhere else to SoapUI.
In the request editor my string looks fine but when I send the request I get weird errors from the server.
After investigation I realized that some XML Strings are sent out differently on the wire than what they look in the request editor and this is causing the problem.
For example:
In my request I have the following
<swb:merchant>
<!--Optional:-->
<swb:id>201909002_TEST</swb:id>
in the HTTP Logs I see that the following is sent out
Mon Dec 16 14:07:24 CET 2019:DEBUG:>> " <swb:id>[0xef][0xbb][0xbf][0xef][0xbb][0xbf]201909002_TEST</swb:id>[\n]"
I really dont understand where these non alphanumeric ascii characters are coming from..
If I dont do copy/paste and I just edit the request manually then it works...
Anybody has come across this issue before?
Thanks a lot
