HTTP XML/REST Sensor Encoding

Modified on 2025-06-10 13:33:55 +0200

I am having an issue trying to authenticate to an API through the PRTG HTTP XML/REST Sensor, but can authenticate using other tools after ensuring the encoding in those other tools is set to Base64/ISO-8859-1. Is there any way to ensure PRTG is sending this request using the ISO-8859-1 encoding?

Hello,

The encoding is dynamically taken from the HTTP result, with a fallback to 8859-1.

There is no encoding in sending the HTTP request.

Best regards.
