I know English is not your first language, but I couldn't understand that
at all :)

But anyway, my observations are not relevant because we always use
"CGIConvMode BINARY"

apache doesn't neither converts from an ebcdic body if you send then the
body also has to be pre-encoded in utf-8

Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8

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.
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
hitting
a major snag. The output is garbage. I get the exact same output
when I set the content-type to application/javascript.

Just to verify this was related to CGI output, I used AddType to
change
the
content-type of static JavaScript files to "application/javascript".
Those
files look fine, so this must have something to do with it being
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
content
type back to text/javascript sets everything right.

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
can
tell mod_cgi to treat "application/javascript" as text, or if that
is
even
the issue.

I am hoping someone has an idea. I know Apache pretty well, but
this one has me stumped.
