Re: Upgrading to latest release of EXPAT and HTTPAPI

[Scott Klement <sk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Linda,

As far as I know, the CGIDEV2 stuff and the http_url_post_stmf() stuff 
does not need to be changed at all.

With the Expat stuff, you basically have two choices.  You can upgrade 
your code to use RPG's built-in support for double byte Unicode (UCS2 or 
UTF-16) which will simplify your code.  Or you can keep the code as-is, 
and use the UTF-8 version of Unicode.  Or both.

I can't tell you what needs to be changed in your programs, since I 
haven't seen your code.  All I can say, at a very general level, is that 
the strings passed to your callbacks are no longer UTF-8, they're now 
UTF-16.  So change your procedures to receive UTF-16.

I don't know how to help you.  Please tell me how I can assist...
