Yes, that is what HTTP_setFileCCSID() is for.  However, please 
understand this:

HTTPAPI does not know the CCSID of the data it has received.  It merely 
receives the bytes and puts them into a file.  You tell it what CCSID 
that file is, so it can mark the file appropriately.  HTTPAPI does no 
translation, and assumes you are right.

 From your description, the data is UTF-8, so you should call 
http_setFileCCSID() and give it a CCSID of 1208.  (which is the CCSID 
for UTF-8).  HTTPAPI will save your data to the file, and mark it with 
that CCSID.

XML-INTO will see that the file is marked with CCSID 1208, and will 
translate it for you when it reads it into your program.

I can't answer that.  HTTPAPI wouldn't do that (unless you told it to). 
  But HTTPAPI only sets the CCSID of a file *if* it creates that file. 
If the file already exists in the IFS, it'll leave the same CCSID the 
file had before.

So perhaps that file was created separately with a CCSID of 1252?

Yes, that's true.  Why are you telling me this?
