Re: Read POST CGI data

[Bradley Stone <bvstone@xxxxxxxxx>]

What does your config look like, and what is the content-type of the data?

The Apache server will convert ASCII to EBCDIC for some content types, but
not all.  For example application/json is not converted and will need to be
in your application.
