Re: Handle large JSON via CGI

I almost always read and write JSON to an IFS file simply because if I ever
need to debug it I can. It may take a few extra milliseconds but that's
not a big concern.

In your case it sounds like you are sending JSON to a request (not
receiving and parsing it).

In that case I would use yajl_writeStdout() which you can call after
building the JSON with YAJL. Then if you want to save it to the IFS you
can use yajl_saveBuf().

There is even a function to load a node from a stream file which may be
handy for your base64 data if that's in an IFS file to begin with.

I have an RPG program that processes CGI requests using the QtmhWrStout()
API. My problem is that with very large JSON payloads that contain a
Base64 encoded ZIP file.

I can set the paramter for QtmhWrStout() to be large enough, but it throws
a runtime error saying I've exceeded automatic storage. The program won't
compile with teraspace due to all the standard storage service programs it
references.

YAJL could handle it if I could write the payload to an IFS file, but
that's a nut I can't crack. I'm wondering whether my poor C++ skills are
up to writing a small module to do it.

Am I overlooking something?
