Re: HTTPAPI: Output to File changing brackets

Recently a vendor of ours changed from providing an on-premise

initial testing, I was getting the data response back to the RPG
program directly and everything was fine. However due to the high
volume of data, I now have the API output the data to the IFS, and
then I parse it from there. However, when I have the API output the
file to the IFS, it's replacing the brackets as if it thinks they are
a part of the data. The quick solution was to have the process fix
the brackets, but I feel both the API changing the brackets as well
as me fixing them is taking way too long.

I'm no expert, but I suspect it's because the content type is 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'.

It should probably be returning 'application/xml' or 'text/xml'.
