2 years ago The response is not base64 encoded the logs you have provided don't show what response you are receiving.
The following code shows MockServer is working correct as expected:
ClientAndServer mockServer = ClientAndServer.startClientAndServer();
mockServer
.when(
request()
.withPath("/api/system/status")
.withMethod("GET")
)
.respond(
response()
.withBody("{\"status\":\"UP\"}")
.withHeaders(
new Header("content-type", "application/json; charset=utf-8")
)
);
CloseableHttpClient httpClient = HttpClientBuilder.create()
.build();
HttpGet getRequest = new HttpGet("http://localhost:" + mockServer.getPort() + "/api/system/status");
CloseableHttpResponse resp = httpClient.execute(getRequest);
try (InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(resp.getEntity().getContent()); BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);) {
String responseBody = br.lines().collect(Collectors.joining("\n"));
System.out.println("responseBody = " + responseBody);
assertThat(responseBody, is("{\"status\":\"UP\"}"));
}
mockServer.stop();The logs output when that code is executed are as follows:

Describe the issue Response body is always base 64 encoded.
What you are trying to do When adding an expectation in Java with a body containing plain text or json, the body after the expectation creation is always base 64 encoded
MockServer version 5.11.1
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the issue:
How you are running MockServer (i.e maven plugin, docker, etc) Runningserver using maven plugin (result is same when running the server from command line)
Code you used to create expectations
What error you saw No error but in the log we can see that the value is encoded
Expected behaviour Response body not base 64 encoded but the exact value as the one we defined
