js: make non-payload data more encoding-tolerant

--

* src/Helpers.js: As non-payload data might come in different
  encodings, a conversion has been introduced that worked in most
  cases. Data like the userid might come in different encodings,
  which we don't know of. For now, a try..catch returns the data
  as they are if the utf-8 decoding fails. Sometimes this yields the
  correct result, sometimes it may not work, but it won't stop the
  whole operation anymore.
