Re: expat encoding

[Thomas Raddatz <thomas.raddatz@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I forgot to mention that I assume that eXpat natively supports the 
following encodings (see: http://www.jclark.com/xml/expatfaq.html):

    utf-8
    utf-16
    iso-8859-1
    us-ascii

So for example if you have your XML data encoded in 1252, you first need to 
translate it to one of these encodings. HTTPAPI either can use the encoding 
of the stream file and use the OS to convert the data to 1208. Or it can 
translate the data from a given CCSID to 1208 on its own before passing the 
data to eXpat.
