Strip Out UTF-8 BOM out of responses

My responses have UTF-8 BOMs in them and that I need to constantly cut those characters out and then format the response. Is there a way that we can strip out them out of the response automatically?

I attempted to perform the work-around as suggested.

I must be doing something wrong.

    Unzipped the tgz file into bin/ext (it created /bombstrip-9 directory)

    Created/Modified RequestFilter.afterRequest event

    added the following code to that envent


log.info "Enter RequestFilter.afterRequest Event"

// get response content
def content = context.httpResponse.responseContent
// manipulate content
log.info "Message before replace series"

// account for poorly defined symbols
content = content.replaceAll( "&lt;", "<" )
content = content.replaceAll( "&gt;", ">" )

content = content.BomStrip(content)
//content = content.BomStrip()
//content = content.BomStrip()


// write it back
context.httpResponse.responseContent = content
log.info "Message after replace series"
log.info( content )

log.info "Exit RequestFilter.afterRequest Event"


I'm receiving groovy.lang.MissingMethodException (s)

Please advise.

Thanks in Advance,

Rich
