RE: Problem with the API: QtmhWrStout (Solved!)

Like I used to tell my kids when they would ask "Dad, when are you going to
be finished and come upstairs?"  I would answer... "Just one more compile."

Good, now change the X'15' to a X'25' and it'll be correct. <g> The
X'15' is the old Linefeed symbol and was printed by mistake in the
manuals. It should be X'25' although IBM continues to support X'15', you
should always use X'25', or in the case of the Context-Type header,
X'2525'

Wow -- this was a fun one.  There was a problem was a relatively simple
one, once we narrowed it down.  There were actually two issues.  The
first is that the content-type (content-type: text/html) was not
written.  The second is when writing to stdout, we used the CRLF
(x'OD25') after each line.  We changed it to the New Line (x'15') and it
worked.  It seems that the original server permitted CRLF where the
Apache server likes New Line....

Peter,

I just double checked and we are using the newer QZHBCGI service program
for the API. Any other ideas?

Thanks

Mike

Mike,
You may or may not be aware that a while back IBM in fact implemented
the same functionality via a new *SRVPGM that also provides some
additional service procedures. The old *SRVPGM was QHTTPSVR/QTMHCGI. The
new *SRVPGM is QHTTPSVR/QZHBCGI. 

Obviously, you would expect that programs using the original interface
to operate without impact.  However, we found this not to be the case,
in particular with respect to the error parameter. After raising the
issue with IBM and explaining at length what the problem was, they were
somewhat surprised when able to demonstrate that there was indeed a
problem.

IBM's official response was to refer to some piece of documentation
(somewhere in the HTTP server doc) which indicated the existence of the
new *SRVPGM QZHBCGI with a recommendation that it should be used in
preference to QTMHCGI and implied that it would be hopeful for one to
expect any patch for the problem. 

Rather than recompile, I believe we just replaced the old QTMHCGI by
duplicating QZHBCGI but giving it the same name as the old one, QTMHCGI.
To avoid issues with subsequent development we changed the relevant
binding directory used by the compile so that it now references the new
*SRVPGM.

Cheers, Peter

We are running into a problem with the API QtmhWrStout (used to write to
stdout).  We have a process that utilizes this API to interact with the
web.  The RPG program has been working for a few years with no problems.
WE now converted the web server from the original server to the apache
server.  Now, when writing to this api, it appears that the data is
partially encoded in ASCII and partly in EPCDIC.  It is really weird.
Has anyone else run into this problem?  Any ideas?
