Data encoding is not correct when you send it to stream

[grolfcry]

when data contains non latin symbols (may be non UTF strings) then it will broken on server side, because server use UTF-8. You need to use encoding when data in string format are being converted to bytes. One of that place is GelfMessage->gzipMessage.

  try {
            GZIPOutputStream stream = new GZIPOutputStream(bos);
            stream.write(message.getBytes(<b>"UTF-8"</b>));
...
