Flow HTTP request returns Base64 instead of XML - Speacial characters problem

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I'm using an HTTP request action as a get request, the response is base64, I can decode it using "base64ToString", but I have special chars ("ô", "é", "è"...) in the XML response i am getting and base64 doesn't manage special chars.
Is there a way to tell the request action to return directly the XML response ? In postman, the response is returned as XML, same as if I copy paste the URL in a new Chrome tab.
