Re: Read POST CGI data -- WEB400

The IBM docs even say:

If you configure the server to convert between ASCII and EBCDIC, the server will check entity bodies with text/* or application/x-www-form-urlencoded Content-Types for a charset tag. If found, the server converts the corresponding ASCII CCSID to the EBCDIC CCSID of the job. If not found, the server uses the value of the DefaultNetCCSID configuration directive as the CCSID from which to convert.

Of course, I think this all goes west if your CGI thread has a CCSID of 65535.

Yes that is correct - I misread Justin's post and assumed he said it was "not" converted.

While it's true applciaton/json is left as is, in this case the data is converted since it's form data even though it has a content-type of application/x-www-form-urlencoded.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4007969/application-x-www-form-urlencoded-or-multipart-form-data

application/x-www-form-urlencoded is what is normally used on a form submit. I believe he recently posted that application/x-www-form-urlencoded was converted fine when sent.

Either that or it's simply not converted since there are no odd characters normally and my brain is fried early today.. haha!

There is no translation because the Content-Type (mime-type) is
'application/x...'

If the Content type is 'text/...' an automatic translation are done
from CSSid 819 or CSSid 1208 to EBCDIC mode but non-supported
characters in the input becomes blanks in EBCDIC.

Manually translating the data works, so the next question is "why is
automatic translation not happening?" I'm reasonably certain that
the server does translation for other things.

Now I'm going to do a simple web form using POST, as suggested, to
see if it's client-related.
