jsonBody specifies character encoding utf-8 #66

jsonBody should specify character encoding as utf-8. If it does not, the default encoding is ISO-8859-1 [1], which is problematic with foreign characters.

This may be redundant (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9254891/what-does-content-type-application-json-charset-utf-8-really-mean/9254967) but maybe good to have? (https://portswigger.net/research/json-hijacking-for-the-modern-web)
