RE: R: CCSID problem?????

["Schmidt, Mihael" <Mihael.Schmidt@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Stefano,

I am HTTPAPI to call a Java based web service. I am sending an xml file to the web service and successfully using

http_setCCSIDs(1208 : 0);  // 1208 = UTF-8 

to convert the data to UTF-8 before calling http_url_post_xml.

I haven't followed the whole discussion but did you make sure that the characters are really correctly written to stream file? Did you try to download the file to your PC f. e. and check if it is really readable? I had my problems with that once. CCSID is really a beast that is hard to tame =)

Regards

Mihael

Err..  I don't see why it'd have ? characters!  Unless that's something 
the web service is doing on the other end?

Sure, it's possible.  I don't know if it's the case or not, since I 
don't run the web service you're connecting to.

Yes, that's how you control the CCSID that your data is translated into.

Yes, the POST data sent with your request is written to the debug file 
as-is (after it has translated it.)   So the data in the log file is 
byte-for-byte what you are sending to the web service.

However, depending on how you're viewing the debug file, your viewer may 
be translating it (or mistranslating it)...
