title: jmeter text resp. assertion failing when appears it should pass
body: <p>I'm getting a very basic text resp failing in jmeter when it appears it should pass.  Feels like some whitespace or character encoding issue, but got me stuck - any pointers would be great.</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Applied to: HTTP sampler</li>
  <li>Type of assert: Main sample only, text resp</li>
  <li>Matching: equals</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>So I ran the sample with the asset disabled, and copied the content of the resp. body into the patterns to test field within the asset.  The context should be static, so assumed it would pass.</p>
  
  <p>However, the assert is tripping with:
  Assertion failure message: Test failed: text expected to equal.</p>
