Encoding

For some WCS coverages through

ows4R/R/WCSCoverageSummary.R

Line 206 in 1ab48df

getDimensions = function(){

I am getting the message "No encoding supplied: defaulting to UTF-8." https://github.com/r-lib/httr/blob/df11e216f5e1a30f1bc8df8118e7cd983d9066f9/R/content-parse.r#L21

Could the call to httr include an encoding?

[eblondel]

Any httr could include an encoding, but in the case of OGC services, it's better to leave the encoding to UTF-8. I'm not sure you would like to change the encoding. By default if don't provide the encoding, it is set to UTF-8 and we get this message from httr

Thank you! I don't wish to change the Encoding. I will suppress the message from our side.
