Re: YAJL

It is an Angular program that is currently using Firebase to store its data.
The call to Firebase does not return chunk data, it returns just the JSON
data.

I am writing an RPGLE/YAJL back end server executed through Apache to
replace the firebase call. The plan was to only swap the URL address. I
don't really want to have to modify all of the Angular calls to strip the
extra characters and I have not found a way in Angular to say this is chunk
data so automatically strip it.

I don't mean to be a jerk with this. I just don't understand why it DOES
work one way with Firebase but it DOESN'T work that same way with
Apache/RPGLE/YAJL. Is Firebase the one that is wrong and doing something
non-standard?

Please tell us what you are using to make the request and get the data back.
Did you write some socket application yourself or are you using another
solution?

Whatever that application is, that's the issue. It's not processing the
returned chunked data properly.

The program that is receiving the data is expecting pure JSON data to
be returned. Instead is it receiving these extra bytes prior to the
first { and is abending.

The "chunked" part is a normal and expected part of the HTTP protocol.
Can you explain what problem it is causing you?

Since it is part of HTTP, it is being added (correctly) by the IBM
HTTP server and is normal and expected. It won't be in a save-to-file
because that doesn't go through the HTTP server. The data isn't being
added by YAJL, it's just part of the HTTP protocol.

Maybe I'm just being dense here but when I pull data from filebase,
it is not chunked. Is this a limitation of Apache or YAJL or why
can't I do it with the IBM i?
