HTTP 400 half the time when using accents in name

cao-trung.do

Hi,

When calling the ScreeningRequest API with a name containing accents, I'm having one time in two HTTP 400.

I'm doing the following when sending my request:

1. The content body is converted to UTF-8.
2. We calculate the length of the UTF-8 encoded content since UTF-8 payload length is different than the normal payload body.
3. We're using the normal payload/content body in the dataToSign variable.
4. Then we use the content length of the UTF-8 encoded in the dataToSign variable.
5. Next, we're sending the UTF-8 encoded content/payload in the API request.
6. At last, we send the content length of the UTF-8 encoded in the request header.

For instance with "Stéphane Bern", I'm having a result the first time, then the second time, I'm having an HTTP 400.

Here what I'm sending:

==> POST https://rms-world-check-one-api-pilot.thomsonreuters.com/v1/cases/screeningRequest HTTP/1.1
- entity [Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8,Content-Length: 185,Chunked: false]
- body : {"groupId":"ZZZ","entityType":"INDIVIDUAL","providerTypes":["WATCHLIST"],"name":"Stéphane Bern","secondaryFields":[{"typeId":"SFCT_1","value":"MALE"}]}
- headerGroup (request) : [Date: Thu, 23 Jan 2020 14:21:57 GMT, Authorization: Signature keyId="XXX",algorithm="hmac-sha256",headers="(request-target) host date content-type content-length",signature="YYY", Content-Type: application/json]
- The answer : HttpResponseProxy{HTTP/1.1 400  [Transfer-Encoding: chunked, Date: Thu, 23 Jan 2020 14:12:22 GMT, X-Cnection: close, Server: ""] ResponseEntityProxy{[Chunked: true]}}

When the return is HTTP 200 :

==> POST https://rms-world-check-one-api-pilot.thomsonreuters.com/v1/cases/screeningRequest HTTP/1.1
- entity [Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8,Content-Length: 185,Chunked: false]
- body : {"groupId":"ZZZ","entityType":"INDIVIDUAL","providerTypes":["WATCHLIST"],"name":"Stéphane Bern","secondaryFields":[{"typeId":"SFCT_1","value":"MALE"}]}
- headerGroup (request) : [Date: Thu, 23 Jan 2020 14:21:20 GMT, Authorization: Signature keyId="XXX",algorithm="hmac-sha256",headers="(request-target) host date content-type content-length",signature="YYY", Content-Type: application/json]
- The answer : HttpResponseProxy{HTTP/1.1 200  [Cache-Control: no-cache, no-store, max-age=0, must-revalidate, Pragma: no-cache, Expires: 0, X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block, X-Frame-Options: DENY, X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff, Date: Thu, 23 Jan 2020 14:13:57 GMT, Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8, Transfer-Encoding: chunked, Server: ""] ResponseEntityProxy{[Content-Type: application/json;charset=UTF-8,Chunked: true]}}

Is there something I am missing?
