Re: question about none english character when using HTTPAPI



Johan,

I suggest to use the attached test program to convert the swedish 'Ö' to
UTF-8 and verify the result. I used CRTRPGMOD and CRTPGM to create it:

   crtrpgmod raddatz/test_iconv raddatz/qsrc37 dbgview(*list)
   crtpgm raddatz/test_iconv actgrp(*new)

Make sure to change AtSign37 to the swedish 'Ö' and adjust the path name
of the output file before compiling the program.

If everything is fine I assume that the problem is at the receiving side.
By the way, did you properly specify <?xml version="1.0"
encoding="UTF-8"?> at the beginning of your request message?

Furthermore you may ask your network guy to trace the communication data.
That often helps a lot to solve a problem.

Regards,

Thomas
