gents

i have just uploaded the latest version of powerext core (5.02) that
includes
yajl and a httpapi example that calls a powerext web service.

the program (yajlreq/yajl) are in the example library and can be used for
skeletons for testing.

Thanks for the suggestions but I managed to modify to CGIDEV2 to do what I
need. I'll have to do some more testing, but I might send it over to
Giovanni and see if he can add my procedure to a future release.

I didn't screw around with the base code. I wound up adding a procedure to
re-encode the body just before it is sent to the client. It sort of
mirrors the WrtHTMLToStmf that is already included.

You pass in the HTTP headers and the target CCSID. The procedure spits out
the HTTP headers and re-encodes everything in the buffer to the CCSID that
was provided. Seems to work well. Probably not the most efficient way of
doing it, but it allows me to solve my issue without messing with any of
the existing procedures in CGIDEV2. I have no issue sacrificing a couple
milliseconds of performance to keep things stable.

Thanks for all the tips and examples.

I don't take it as nasty, but it's also nothing to do with what this was
doing or it's purpose. The JSON file is static in this case (but, it
certainly could be dynamic and created with yajl or anything else).

The OP had problems using the application/json content-type header and
the
output not getting "converted".

This is an example of how we updated our eRPG SDK toolkit to handle this
problem.

where do the mime header come from?

how do you process the incomming json?

how do you handle different clients, one may send you text/plain and
another
application/json and expext to get the same content-type back?

Well, I've updated our eRPG SDK to allow you to set the CCSID of the

The example is here:

Henrik,

I found something you posted a few years ago and tried it and
it
worked
for me...

Content-type: application/json
Content-encoding: EBCDIC

Is this something deemed incorrect or not a solution? I was
actually
surprised it worked. :)

Maybe there is a better solution? It seems we would need to
convert
all
the output to a specific CCSID before writing it out to StdOut
otherwise
(not a huge issue, but may be for some that can't just modify
their
toolkits to do this).

Already downloaded it. :)

I noticed you example HTTP instance that you make UTF-8 the
default
encoding. I can't do that. If possible, could you send me a
very
simple
example of how to make this work in PowerEXT Core without
changing
the
HTTP
Server configuration? I see the procedures for turning on
UTF-8
mode
but
didn't see any examples that use them. Plus, you said the
headers
cannot
be UTF-8 encoded.

I already have a CGIDEV2 template setup for my JSON, so I
really
don't
want
to change gears and use the JSON library, but I have no issue
doing a
find
replace and changing WRTSECTION to something else and using
the
PowerEXT
Core. I don't even mind changing the section and variable
tags
if
I
need
to.

No worries. I have no intention of changing our
CGIConvMode,
but
I
did
want to make sure I understood the implications. The
bulk
of
our
CGI
programs produce text/html and they work perfectly fine.

I plan to tweak the programs that produce JSON output and

everything
else alone.

It

I have never tried CGIConvMode %BINARY%, but

that
all

Hello Henrick. That's sort of what I suspected.
Do
I
have
to
change
the
CGI program to produce ASCII output, or is
there a
way to
tell
Apache
to do an EBCDIC to ASCII conversion on an

We have several CGI programs that generate
javascript,
usually
JSON.
For years we have set the content type to
text/plain
or
text/javascript. I'd like to start using
the
more
standard
"application/json", but I am
hitting
a major snag. The output is garbage. I get
the
exact
same
output
when I set the content-type to
application/javascript.

Just to verify this was related to CGI
output, I
used
AddType
to
change
the
content-type of static JavaScript files to
"application/javascript".
Those
files look fine, so this must have something
to
do
with
it
being
CGI output.

I don't really know what is up with the
output,
but I
know
it
isn't EBCDIC. It doesn't convert. Garbage
in,
garbage
out.
Changing the
content
type back to text/javascript sets everything
right.

Anyone have any guesses what is going on
here?
We
use
CGIDEV2
under IBM i 7.1. The default CCSID of our
CGI
jobs
is
37.

Just so we are clear on one thing. We had
the
following
settings
in our HTTP Conf:

DefaultFsCCSID 037
CGIConvMode %%EBCDIC/EBCDIC%%

I commented both settings out and it had no
impact on
the
output
whatsoever. All of our CGI programs that
use
content
type
of
"text/*"
seemed to work. The ones using
"application/javascript"
or
"application/json" for content type still
looked
like
garbage.
The only guess I have is that mod_cgi sees
that
the
content-type
starts with "application" and treats the
output
as
binary,
but I
have no idea how I
can
tell mod_cgi to treat
"application/javascript"
as
text,
or
if
that
is
even
the issue.

I am hoping someone has an idea. I know
Apache
pretty
well,
but
this one has me stumped.
