I am pretty sure we always ensure the data is in UTF-8 when sending
content that has a content type that is anything but "text/...."

Subject: Re: [WEB400] Content-type issue with application/json and
application/javascript
Hello Henrick. That's sort of what I suspected. Do I have to change the
CGI program to produce ASCII output, or is there a way to tell Apache
to do an EBCDIC to ASCII conversion on an "application/javascript"
content type?

We have several CGI programs that generate javascript, usually JSON.hitting
For years we have set the content type to text/plain or
text/javascript. I'd like to start using the more standard
"application/json", but I am
a major snag. The output is garbage. I get the exact same outputthe
when I set the content-type to application/javascript.
Just to verify this was related to CGI output, I used AddType to
change
content-type of static JavaScript files to "application/javascript".Those
files look fine, so this must have something to do with it beingcontent
CGI output.
I don't really know what is up with the output, but I know it
isn't EBCDIC. It doesn't convert. Garbage in, garbage out.
Changing the
type back to text/javascript sets everything right.can
Anyone have any guesses what is going on here? We use CGIDEV2
under IBM i 7.1. The default CCSID of our CGI jobs is 37.
Just so we are clear on one thing. We had the following settings
in our HTTP Conf:
DefaultFsCCSID 037
CGIConvMode %%EBCDIC/EBCDIC%%
I commented both settings out and it had no impact on the output
whatsoever. All of our CGI programs that use content type of "text/*"
seemed to work. The ones using "application/javascript" or
"application/json" for content type still looked like garbage.
The only guess I have is that mod_cgi sees that the content-type
starts with "application" and treats the output as binary, but I
have no idea how I
tell mod_cgi to treat "application/javascript" as text, or if thateven
is
the issue.
I am hoping someone has an idea. I know Apache pretty well, but
this one has me stumped.
