Can't add comment via rest on

[aas]

Hello!

I try to add comment via rest, but can add it only if body is latin. If body is not latin I have 400 and errorMessages":["Invalid UTF-8 start byte 0xfb\n at [Source: org.apache.catalina.connector.CoyoteInputStream@355b26b7; line: 1, column: 42]"]}

I try to set encoding=utf-8 but have no luck

Here is my request

curl -i -u "user:password" -H "Content-type: application/json; charset=utf-8" -H "Accept: application/json" -d"{\"body\":\"абвгд\"}" -X POST https://jiratest/rest/api/latest/issue/issueKey/comment

Try charset=ISO-8859-1 first.

If that doesn't work, you may have to pre-convert all the special characters in the body text into their UTF-8 codes before submitting it, such as:

{ body : "\u1072\u1073\u1074\u1075\u1076" }

@David Bakkers thanks for help. I found out that if you run curl in cmd, then the -d argument parameter has the same encoding as the Windows console - CP866. Even if you set -H "Content-type: application/json; charset=utf-8". So I've execute curl command from linux and everything is fine. 

But if you need run it in windows workaroud is saving json in a file in utf-8 encoding and passing the request body like this:

curl -X POST -i -H "Content-type: application/json; charset=utf-8" -d @C:\request_body.json

Glad to hear you worked it out, and that there is difference to how curl does encoding in Windows vs Linux.
