AsyncHttpClient - Strange response, like incorrect charset

Question

The library worked perfect for me until i got this problem yesterday. I tried for version 1.4.5 and 1.4.8.I tested on real device, emulator. I also created a new project, doing only connects to Google:

AsyncHttpClient client = new AsyncHttpClient();
client.get("https://www.google.com", new AsyncHttpResponseHandler() {

    @Override
    public void onSuccess(int statusCode, Header[] headers, byte[] response) {
        // called when response HTTP status is "200 OK"
        Log.e("TEST", new String(response));
    }

    @Override
    public void onFailure(int statusCode, Header[] headers, byte[] errorResponse, Throwable e) {
        // called when response HTTP status is "4XX" (eg. 401, 403, 404)
    }
});

And response : ��}iw۶�� H-�%��q�7q��bL�4IyS��$A��<�9�S7"v��6x�f�Vz�9�I��{��N�Xa��<��P&i� ��Ě8�m��o��( �N]Cq� ��P{�qऴa��ԙ��r��ؚ4҉Ӹ c��H��t��M�pJ�c�3ۛ��+ǌ��l'L�tj7�0vZ��a��/M��4�ȱ<�7��Mg��4Ұ1q�q��c��9��J��Մ��; ?ϱB��4�4��Nb�^�0)�&L�Ў��qh�i��an�³1�� L�춢��Q��ad(,!�O��w�x��1�b�9�M-��ί��U��l��`��Ϣ��{��Ӄ Help me, thanks

That looks like the response has been compressed with gzip and hasn't been decompressed yet. — Jeff Smith, Aug 24 '15 at 06:12

It is known issue in AsyncHttpClient (see https://github.com/loopj/android-async-http/issues/932). You can disable gzip as a temporary workaround:

AsyncHttpClient client = new AsyncHttpClient();
client.addHeader("Accept-Encoding", "identity"); // disable gzip
client.get(...)
