HTTP Client returning the right decode string

Feature Suggestions

Hi, I use the fetch function to get html page, and found that if the page charset is not UTF8, like some page header has the charset information: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=gbk" />, this kind of page will be decode in UTF8 default, and will get the wrong content. I check the package source code, and fount the problem is here:

Uno.Net.Http/0.24.5/Implementation/iOS/HttpRequest.mm

line number: 116, 
method: Void Completed(NSData data, NSHTTPURLResponse response, NSError error) 

in this function line number: 130, it use UTF8 decode the response data into string.

I think have better use the method: GetResponseHeader(uString key) to get the charset of the web page, and then use this charset to decode the response data.

Thanks!
