Hoping someone can help. I have overcome all the connectivity issues with this SOAP web service I am connecting to. And I can even send the file payload. But the encoding of the data is just wrong, and I can't seem to find the magic solution.
I've tried sending the raw data as a string. Server rejects it immediately with http 500 error. It suggested it was not "properly base64 encoded data". So, I downloaded and installed the BASE64 encoding service program from Scott. I encoded the string, and it went through, http 200, we thought we were home free. But the data on the receiving server was garbled - apparently not encoded in a way that they could decode it correctly. I thought maybe it was an EBCDIC/ascii issue, so i decided to write the encoded string to the IFS using code page 819, then read it back in and send it. Same result.
I've tried every which way I can think of (which is apparently just short of enough). I need some expert advice on how to get this string to the receiver correctly.
Attached are the program source, the http log (where the request string can be seen), and the garbled mess from the receiving server. Hoping for some sage advice. Thanks in advance.
