I've now stopped the base64 encoding on the upload. The results look good.
I seem to be getting the correct hex values in the DB2 table.
I'm giving the users the ability to upload any type of file. When the
users wish to view the uploaded files, files are downloaded, specifying...
Content-Type: application/octet-stream
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="xxx";
Working fine for XML, TXT, JPEG files etc., but have problems with
PDF, DOC, XLS.
When I use Notepad to compare the original uploaded file to the
downloaded file, no differences. Except, if I perform SaveAs in
Notepad, I see the original file has ANSI encoding specified, whereas
the uploaded/downloaded file has Unicode encoding specified.
Any ideas?

Hi, Sean.
It looks like the data that "worked" was plain ascii and the other was
base
64 encoded (but still ASCII).
There should be no conversion of the data from ASCII to EBCDIC in your
case since the content type is application/[whatever].
I'd double check the headers on one that doesn't base64 encode the data.
And double check what you're using for the upload option to see if one
base64 encoded and one didn't.
Or, you may need to read the headers and if it is base64 encoded,
decode it before storing it in your IFS.

About a month ago, I installed the latest version of CGIDEV2, and--
developed functionality that allows users to upload file attachments
to DB2 table via the web, with the ability to download from the DB2
table. In this way, files can be attached to 'orders' and users can
view these files when they wish. All was working well (even made a
video demonstrating the process to users).
Now paperwork has been approved for me to promote this development
to a QA environment. I tested the functionality again and hit an
issue that I've been unable to resolve. I'm unaware of any changes
that have been made in the past month.
Now, when the file attachment data reaches CGISRVPGM2, it appears to
have been converted and I don't know why.
I have specified...
CGIConvMode %%EBCDIC/EBCDIC%%
DefaultFsCCSID 937
DefaultNetCCSID 1208
If, for example, I attempt to upload a PDF document, I can see in
browser debug, that the post contains...
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="Filedata"; filename="Imp 4991.pdf"
Content-Type: application/pdf
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
JVBERi0xLjYN...
The above base64 data translates to "%PDF-1.6", which is what I see
when I open the PDF document in Notepad. I'm unsure whether it
should be base64 encoded, but I believe this was working this way previously.
When I did this a month ago, I got the correct hex values in the DB2
table...
255044462D312E31
%PDF-1.6
(CCSID 819)
Now, I get...
4A56424552693078
Debugging, I see this is the data (in hex) that is read and written
to the temporary filename in CGISRVPGM2. CGISRVPGM2 doesn't appear
to be converting this data.
I don't know why I'm now getting 4A564...whereas previously I got
2550444...??
Thanks for any help.
