Thanks rraghvani 
I try this solution:

 

aqHttpRequest.SetHeader("Accept", "application/json;charset=utf-8");
aqHttpRequest.SetHeader("Accept-Charset", "utf-8");
aqHttpRequest.SetHeader("Content-Type", "application/json;charset=utf-8" );

 

But, it doesn't handle the encoding and the getHeader of the Content-Type of the response contains only application/json

If I don't set the Content-Type I get a crash with error "HTTP 415 Unsupported Media Type"

 

Regarding the loss of the json, running this script :

 

qHttpRequest.SetHeader("Content-Type","application/json; charset=utf-8")

 

changes the content of the response to "text/html;charset=utf-8"
