Re: http_url_post_xml and utf-8 encoding

[Scott Klement <sk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Magne,

I don't see anything wrong with your code.  Though, I notice that you 
don't specify a content-type that identifies the CCSID of your data. 
This is something of a shot-in-the-dark, but...  you might try it. Take 
a look at the 9th parameter to http_url_post_xml():

           rc = http_url_post_xml(
               %trim(WsTffUrl)
              : %addr(SOAP) + 2
              : %len(SOAP)
              : *NULL
              : %paddr(Incoming)
              : *NULL
              : HTTP_TIMEOUT
              : HTTP_USERAGENT
              : 'text/xml; encoding=utf-8' );

If that doesn't help, perhaps you need to explicitly tell HTTPAPI which 
CCSID your data is in?   Right now, you're telling HTTPAPI to translate 
from CCSID 0 to CCSID 1208.  0=The job's default CCSID.  1208=UTF-8.

Perhaps you need to tell it the exact CCSID of your data instead of 
relying on the Job's CCSID?

      http_setCCSIDs(1208: xxx);

If that still doesn't work, I think you need to narrow things down by 
looking at the exact hex values that the HTTP server is receiving.  Are 
they the correct values for UTF-8?  IF not, then the problem must be in 
HTTPAPI somewhere.  If they ARE, then the problem must be in the web 
service.

Or perhaps you need to put them in a CDATA wrapper? or escape the XML? 
That seems unlikely since they're text ordinary characters, not used by 
the XML format... but might be worth trying if all else fails.
