[dialog] encoding issue

[germanattanasio]

Seems like at some point the text is being encoded differently.

String var = "Services ‐ United States";
profileMap.put(SEARCH_RESULTS_VAR, var);
ds.updateProfile(this.eds.getDIALOG_ID(), partner.getWdsIdNum(), profileMap);
conversation = ds.converse(conversation, SEARCH_RESPONSE);
final List<String> rawResponses = conversation.getResponse();
System.out.println(rawResponses.get(0)) 
// Services ��� United States

@mitchmason, how can we force the service to use UTF-8?

I wrote an integration test and I was able to verify this issue.

  /**
   * Test profile variable encoding.
   */
  @Test
  public void testProfileVariableEncoding() {
    String variable = "size", value = "Germán";

    // start a conversation
    Conversation c = service.createConversation(dialogId);

    // update profile with a non-ascii value
    Map<String, String> profile = new HashMap<String,String >();
    profile.put(variable, value);
    service.updateProfile(dialogId, c.getClientId(), profile);

    // verify that value is equal to the one in the profile
    profile = service.getProfile(dialogId, c.getClientId(), variable);
    // The assert below faisl because Germ��n != Germán
    assertEquals(profile.get(variable), value);
  }

The SDK is sending the string as UTF-8 but the service is not returning it as UTF-8. I will talk to the service team to see if they can fix this on their side.

Confirm this is a bug when updating profile variable value - will be fixed in the next release.
