What do these changes do?
This disables running chardet on responses with
CONTENT_TYPE: application/json
as this is a HUGE performance hit.RFC 7519 states that JSON MUST be encoded in UTF and that
the default encoding, in absence of charset in CONTENT_TYPE header is UTF-8.
This vastly improves performance when doing many small requests in environments
where the server does not specify the character by omitting chardet.
Are there changes in behavior for the user?
This does not change the behaviour unless a non-conforming server sends a HTTP response using an invalid encoding without specifying the encoding correctly in the header.
