Re: Read POST CGI data

Yeah, that actually makes some sense. Text is text and can be converted. Application data is data and shouldn't. It's your call whether your JSON data should be thought of as text or data, but if you go the data route, I guess you have to make sure you convert it yourself.

There's an API for that! :)

Mainly the application/* types aren't touched. text/* are converted
(depending on your configuration of course).

This was discussed a while back on this list I believe. Mainly because
application/json data won't get converted but if you use text/json it will.

But, application/json is the correct content-type for JSON so I believe
people were running into a similar issue in that the data was "garbage"
when in fact it was simply ASCII unicode.

Man, it's been a while since I played with that. Is there some rhyme or

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.
