Hi Volkert, Tip 1: use ZnClient and inspect the response in detail, more specifically to see whether the response content type specifies the encoding. ZnClient new get: 'http://<removed>/api/atm/801813'; yourself. Tip 2: you could try to force override the default encoding using ZnDefaultCharacterEncoder (see the class comment). But recent Zn code defaults to UTF8 (see #withDefaultUTF8Decoding: and #withDefaultUTF8Encoding:). So I am curious to see the response headers.
