MapQuest requests should include a charset in headers #137

Hello,

Today I tested geocoding using the MapQuest implementation and it works pretty fine both for the OSM and commercial API. They seem to be virtually the same.

However, an issue arises when I try to use non-ASCII symbols in the location I provide.

In the Content-Type header, Geocoding.MapQuest sets application/json. As it does not specify an encoding, MapQuest's API seems to assume the request is in ASCII and returns inadequate results.

To avoid this, I think the Geocoding.MapQuest should set the Content-Type header to application/json; charset=utf-8.

Do you have an example of a unicode search that is failing?
