CirrocumulusASM is correct in blocking this request as JSON can't be encoded in charset= iso-8859-1
The JSON Standard (RFC7159) clearly states that:
"JSON text shall be encoded in UTF-8, UTF-16, or UTF-32"
Speak to the application developers as they should be sending JSON in UTF-8 and escaping the special characters. If they question this - point them to the JSON standard.
