Cyrillic alphabet characters in JSON response

[AlekseiKlimkin]

Hi Everyone,

I am wondering how to get a JSON response with Cyrillic characters in SoapUI.

If I set Content-Type "application/json; charset=utf-8" in the request headers that does not work and in the headers of the response I see just "application/json", and hence the cyrillic alphabet isn't recognized.

In my mock service I set the response Content-Type to be "application/json; charset=windows-1251" and it works just fine.

However, that doesn't work for the requests.

Thanks in advance.

Well, since no answers have appeared in this topic, I'd like to give a solution here in case someone else needs it later.

You simply need to open the file SoapUI-5.3.0.vmoptions (or whatever version you are using) with a text editor and add 
-Dfile.encoding=UTF8

on a new line, and save it.

The file can be found at the bin folder of your SoapUI application. For instance, I have mine located at C:\Program Files\SmartBear\SoapUI-5.3.0\bin

After this is done, restart your SoapUI and everything should work fine.
