Spring charset=UTF-8 appended to application/x-www-form-urlencoded

Hey everyone, So for a top tier telco comnpany I am trying to integrate and set CONTENT_TYPE in my request .. in many ways however server rejects as

application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=UTF-8

is sent instead of

application/x-www-form-urlencoded which is all that is accepted ( I have confirmed this with another Java program )

i.e. webflux

.header(HttpHeaders.CONTENT_TYPE, "application/x-www-form-urlencoded") . contentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_FORM_URLENCODED)

etc. I have tried coding around this. Can you tell me if there is a workaround as I need one urgently

org/springframework/spring-webflux/5.3.9/spring-webflux-5.3.9.jar org/springframework/spring-web/5.3.9/spring-web-5.3.9.jar org/springframework/spring-core/5.3.9/spring-core-5.3.9.jar org/springframework/spring-web/5.3.9/spring-web-5.3.9.jar!/org/springframework/http/codec/FormHttpMessageWriter.class

protected MediaType getMediaType(@Nullable MediaType mediaType) {
    if (mediaType == null) {
        return DEFAULT_FORM_DATA_MEDIA_TYPE;
    }
    else if (mediaType.getCharset() == null) {
        return new MediaType(mediaType, getDefaultCharset());
    }
    else {
        return mediaType;
    }
}

Can you tell me if there is a workaround?

Dave
