Allow setting request encoding for RestBuilder

[snowindy]

Request currently send requests in default encoding ISO-8859-1 specified in StringHttpMessageConverter

To enable custom encoding, I had to use a hack:

RestBuilder rest = new RestBuilder()
rest.restTemplate.setMessageConverters([new StringHttpMessageConverter(Charset.forName("UTF-8"))])

RestBuilder needs a better and more obvious way to customize request encoding.

provided workaround at the top of this conversation is replacing all message converters, so use carefully

In my case passing custom header with charset resolved my issue:
header('Content-Type', 'application/xml;charset=UTF-8')

For me only work like this:

def rest = new RestBuilder()
rest.restTemplate.setMessageConverters([new StringHttpMessageConverter(Charset.defaultCharset.forName("UTF-8"))])
