Re: Garbage in HTTP response

The HTTP server will normally convert EBCDIC to ASCII for certain content
types.  application/<anything here> is not one of them.

For example, if you go to the DSPJSON example here:
http://erpgsdk.bvstools.com/

You'll see that for the eRPG SDK we specifically need to be able to set the
CCSID of the output so things would work.

Other "fixes" tried are text/json, but that's not the proper content type
for JSON.

You'll see how
