Unknown encoding: iso-8859-1 on HTTP Request

Describe the problem/error/question

My node worked well in the previous version. But currently, I had a problem with the Charset of the response
I also set the Content-Type with charset=latin1, didn’t work.

What is the error message (if any)?

Unknown encoding: iso-8859-1
Error code
ERR_UNKNOWN_ENCODING

NodeApiError: Unknown encoding: iso-8859-1 at Object.execute (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/n8n/node_modules/n8n-nodes-base/dist/nodes/HttpRequest/V3/HttpRequestV3.node.js:1649:33) at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:95:5) at Workflow.runNode (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/n8n/node_modules/n8n-workflow/dist/Workflow.js:722:19) at /usr/local/lib/node_modules/n8n/node_modules/n8n-core/dist/WorkflowExecute.js:670:51 at /usr/local/lib/node_modules/n8n/node_modules/n8n-core/dist/WorkflowExecute.js:1100:20

Information on your n8n setup

  • Database (default: SQLite): Postgres
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):

I updated to the latest version 1.64.3, the issue still there

Hi @Le_nAm,

Can you try setting both the media type as well as the charset, so setting the value to application/json; charset=iso-8859-1 ?

Just tried, issue still be there

Tried with curl on the server hosting n8n, this is the response’s header:

< content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1

I did try with text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 still not work

This is still affecting me and is quite significant. All this API is showing is 5.1.1 from this GET url, for the version ID of the release:

https://hangar.papermc.io/api/v1/projects/Viabackwards/latest?channel=Release

This happens because I looked at the content type like this person has:

zy97N01

But after looking further, this broke on the 15th, when I believe is when I updated n8n, so what is going on here? I am now on the latest as this post states. Not sure what I was on before.

Thanks, Jas.

Hmm, it’s been almost a week, and I couldn’t find a solution for this…

I upgraded to 1.66.0 , but this status hasn’t been resolved.
Team please help
