Re: Problems reading from Stdin

Stefan,

I stumbled upon another communication of yours on this subject or something
related but now I've forgotten where.
Anyway, the solution was to select "Text" rather than "XML" for the format
of the body in Postman.

However, I've now noticed that when I indicate XML in Postman (and the data
is unreadable in my RPG program), the XML is readable in my Scriptlog file.
But if I indicate Text in Postman, the RPG program can read the data and
the Scriptlog file is unreadable!
In this case, a message indicates '..INVALID CHARCTERS FOR CCSID 0128..."
(complete with misspelling :-)) . If I change the CCSID to 297, I can read
the xml in scriptlog but not the data preceding it (that which concerns the
http request).
It's just getting curiouser and curiouser

Thanks, nothing's working though and I don't fully understand what's going
on. I've tried all the different parameters of CGIConvMode
I hate this kind of thing, it should be so obvious.

Bonjour Dave, ( based on ccsid 297 )

You're correct - guess option 22 showed up on v7r3.

Have a look at your Apache configuration,
I have CGIConvMode %%EBCDIC/MIXED%%

I've heard that CGIConvMode %%MIXED/MIXED%% is the preferred one, but we
have issues with that one as our ssl certificates includes nonascii
characters.
As soon as we get rid of those we will change to CGIConvMode
%%MIXED/MIXED%%.

Best regards

Stefan

Subject: Re: [WEB400] Problems reading from Stdin

Thanks Stefan,

I don't have the option 22, guessing it's because we are only on V7R1

I used qtmhgetenv and got these values :

GATEWAY_INTERFACE 'CGI/1.1'
SERVER_PROTOCOL 'HTTP/1.1'
REQUEST_METHOD 'POST'
CGI_MODE 'EBCDIC'
CGI_OUTPUT_MODE ' EBCDIC’
IBM_CCSID_VALUE '297'
CGI_EBCDIC_CCSID '297'
CGI_ASCII_CCSID '819'
FSCP '297'
NETCP '819'

Hi Dave,

I'm posting xml data copied and pasted into POSTMAN to my CGI

programme.

Using QtmhRdStin to read the data but it shows up completely unreadable.

If you run a Postman request that works towards your IBM i and the
look at one of the Apache-jobs ( WRKACTJOB ) that have a Function of '

PGM-QZSRCGI'.

Use option 5 (WRKJOB) and then option 22 to look at the environment
variables for that job.
What do you have for the following environment variables:

GATEWAY_INTERFACE 'CGI/1.1'
SERVER_PROTOCOL 'HTTP/1.1'
REQUEST_METHOD 'POST'
CGI_MODE '%%EBCDIC%%'
CGI_OUTPUT_MODE '%%MIXED%%'
IBM_CCSID_VALUE '278'
CGI_EBCDIC_CCSID '278'
CGI_ASCII_CCSID '819'
FSCP '278'
NETCP '819'

Best regards

Stefan
