I tried sending encoding in HTTP Request's Content Encoding <http://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/component_reference.html#HTTP_Request> field but it doesn't seem to have any effect also in POST request
Content encoding to be used (for POST, PUT, PATCH and FILE). This is the character encoding to be used, and is not related to the Content-Encoding HTTP header. Is it a deprecated field or is there any specific usage/effect when changing the encoding ?
