[Deactivated User]

[coder82]

[Deactivated User]

[coder82]

[coder82]

[coder82]

😕

[coder82]

lol

[coder82]

sorry for bothering

[Deactivated User]

This is the typed way for doing it: response.header(HttpHeaders.ContentType, ContentType.Text.Plain.withCharset(Charsets.UTF_8).toString())

[coder82]

thanks

[Deactivated User]

In fact, there is a more concise way for it:
https://ktor.io/servers/responses.html#properties
response.contentType(ContentType.Application.Json.withCharset(Charsets.UTF_8))

Default charset for json is utf8 so no need to specify that explicitly

[Deactivated User]

yeah, in this case this was plain/text, I just copied the sample, but going to change it too and say that for Json it is included
