Re: CGIDEV2 and REST web services

Dean,

text/json will work fine. it's just the "application" that does it. There has been a lot of talk about it but I never heard of a ways to change it. I think it is hard coded in Apache.
But if you can change to ContentType = text/json then you don't have to translate.

Thanks

John,

Is there a setting in Apache that would make the translation happen automatically? Should I specify a different content-type or am I just stuck with having to do the translation?

rc = ibmIConv(hConv : RdiRec_P : RdiRecLen : RdiRecOut_P :

RdiRec = %trim(RdiRecOut);
RdiRecLen = %len(%trim(RdiRec));

on-error;
endmon;
endif;

Subject: [WEB400] CGIDEV2 and REST web services

I'm trying to use CGIDEV2 to create some web services. I have it working when the input parameters are in the query string. Now, I'm trying to pass them in using JSON. I'm using SOAPUI to call the web service. Here is the raw request.

POSThttp://as400.mma-online.org:8500/read/GetClientsForName/json
HTTP/1.1
Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate
Content-Type: application/json
Content-Length: 54
Host: as400.mma-online.org:8500
Connection: Keep-Alive
User-Agent: Apache-HttpClient/4.1.1 (java 1.5)

{"firstname":" ", "middlename":" ", "lastname":"Mast"}

When I read stdin in my program to get the JSON string, I end up with garbage. What setting am I missing.
