Description

This breaks XML validation on environment which have a non-UTF-8 compatible default JVM charset.

Relatedly, ParseSax.validateXml (which is called by convertStreamToStringAndParse) validates the XML by searching the String for a '<' character at any location (as opposed to the first character). This can have nondeterministic behavior in some cases since the AWS response contains some random data.

PR is in the works.
