A JSON response such as {"a":"测试"} served as application/json opens in
the Raw format instead of JSON, while the same body with ASCII-only
values opens as JSON.
isLikelyText only counted printable ASCII and TAB/LF/CR as text and
required more than 85% of the first 512 bytes to match, so every byte
of a UTF-8 multi-byte character counted as binary. Short bodies with
Chinese, Cyrillic, Japanese or emoji text fell under the threshold,
detectContentTypeFromBase64 returned null, and useInitialResponseFormat
treated that as "not ready", never mapping the content-type header to
a format.
Count complete, well-formed UTF-8 multi-byte sequences as text while
walking the sample. Stray continuation bytes, invalid lead bytes and
sequences cut off by the sample edge still count as non-text, so real
binary data is still detected as binary.

Reject forbidden UTF-8 second-byte ranges.
getUtf8SequenceLength accepts ED A0 80, so repeated surrogate encodings can make detectContentTypeFromBase64 return text/plain instead of null. For a binary-declared response, this can expose structured format options instead of raw-only options. The saved binary example remains backed by response.dataBuffer, so the impact is limited to content detection and format selection.

Description
Response-format detection counted every byte of a UTF-8 multi-byte character as binary, so short JSON bodies containing Chinese, Cyrillic, Japanese or emoji text opened in Raw instead of JSON. This makes the text check UTF-8 aware, without loosening binary detection.
Problem
A response like
{"a":"测试"}served withcontent-type: application/jsonopens in the Raw format instead of JSON, so it is shown unformatted (see the reporter's screenshot in #9362). The same body with ASCII-only values opens as JSON. The same thing happens with other non-ASCII UTF-8 text, such as Cyrillic, Japanese or emoji, whenever those characters make up a noticeable share of a short body.Root cause:
isLikelyTextinpackages/bruno-app/src/utils/response/index.jscounts only printable ASCII (0x20-0x7E) and TAB/LF/CR as text, and requires more than 85% of the first 512 bytes to match. Every byte of a UTF-8 multi-byte character (0x80-0xFF) counts as non-text.{"a":"测试"}is 14 bytes, of which 8 are ASCII, so the ratio is about 0.57.detectContentTypeFromBase64finds no magic number and no SVG, andisLikelyTextfails, so it returnsnull.useInitialResponseFormatincomponents/ResponsePane/QueryResult/index.jstreatsdetectedContentType === nullas "not ready yet" and returnsinitialFormat: null, sogetDefaultResponseFormatnever mapsapplication/jsontojson.ResponsePane/index.jsthen falls back topersistedFormat ?? initialFormat ?? 'raw', so the pane stays on Raw.The ASCII-only check dates from #6100.
Fixes #9362
Fix
isLikelyTextnow recognises UTF-8. While walking the 512-byte sample, a byte that is not printable ASCII is passed to a small helper,getUtf8SequenceLength. It checks for a valid lead byte (0xC2-0xDF, 0xE0-0xEF or 0xF0-0xF4) followed by the right number of continuation bytes (10xxxxxx). If the sequence is complete and well-formed, all of its bytes count as text and the loop skips past them. Everything else is still non-text, as before: stray continuation bytes, 0xC0/0xC1, 0xF5-0xFF, NUL and other control bytes, and a sequence cut off by the sample edge. The 85% threshold is unchanged.UTF-8 text bodies now get the same result ASCII bodies already get (
text/plain), and the pane picks its format from the content-type header exactly as it does for ASCII JSON.Why this approach:
TextDecoder, to avoid depending onTextDecoderin the jsdom test environment; a fatal decoder would also throw on a character cut off at the 512-byte sample edge.Deliberately left alone:
useInitialResponseFormatandResponsePaneare unchanged. Draft feat: large file download and parsing #9286 is reworking that code, and the fix belongs in the detection heuristic anyway.The other callers of
detectContentTypeFromBase64(the preview options and preview mode inQueryResult,ResponseBookmarkthroughgetExampleBodyType, andResponseExampleResponseContent) also gettext/plaininstead ofnullfor UTF-8 bodies, which is what they already get for ASCII bodies.Tests
New spec
packages/bruno-app/src/utils/response/detectContentTypeFromBase64.spec.js, next togetBinaryPreviewType.spec.js, with 11 tests.Reported behaviour (these fail on
main, returningnullinstead of'text/plain'):{"a":"测试"}and a typical Chinese API replyRegression guards (these pass before and after):
text/plain.image/svg+xml.null.null.null.null.Results:
index.jsreverted tomain: the 4 reported-behaviour tests fail, all withExpected "text/plain", Received null.bruno-appjest suite: 161 of 161 suites and 2419 of 2419 tests pass.Screenshots
No new screenshots. The reporter's screenshot in #9362 shows the Raw selection this fixes, and the new unit tests pin the detection result that decides it. I haven't captured an after screenshot from the app.
