Ktor: Default encoding for text/* content type should be UTF8

[shinriyo]

I saved code as UTF-8 (IntellJ IDEA setting.).

and I wrote the code. but, multi-byte code does not show correctly

val msg = "こんにちは世界"
call.respondText(msg, ContentType.Text.Html)

@shinriyo content type need to have encoding specified. It's not about ktor but general requirement: charset attribute need to be specified otherwise the default encoding will be applied.

call.respondText(msg, ContentType.Text.Html.withCharset(Charsets.UTF_8))

@cy6erGn0m Thank you very much! It works!

I still think we need to default all text/* content types to UTF8, plus JSON

Fixed for any content being sent with respondText and respondWrite and not specifying any encoding.
