Stefan,
Personally, the setup I use is like this:
DefaultFsCCSID 37
DefaultNetCCSID 1208
CgiConvMode %%MIXED/MIXED%%
This tells Apache that my local system is CCSID 37 for EBCDIC (you might want 278 for Sweden, I don't remember) and that the network should be CCSID 1208 (UTF-8). This will cause Apache to translate the data from UTF-8 to EBCDIC when receiving, or from EBCDIC to UTF-8 when sending.
If you leave off the DefaultNetCCSID, it will use CCSID 819, I
believe -- and that's not Unicode, it's ASCII.
The other thing I've noticed is that if you use 'text/xml' it will translate it, but 'application/xml' will not. It seems to differentiate between text documents vs. non-text -- and since XML is text, but has 'application' it causes problems. Same for 'application/json'. Therefore, you may need to read into a CCSID(*UTF8) field in your RPG program, and convert it yourself. Depending on the circumstances.
If you are using YAJLINTO, consider telling it to read the input
for you by specifying *STDIN as the document.
DATA-INTO myDS %DATA('*STDIN') %PARSER('YAJLINTO')
It has some sophisticated routines to properly figure out the encoding of the data and translate it properly so that it gets parsed correctly. If you want to call QtmhRdStin manually, you certainly can do that, but you'll have to figure out the encoding, too.-- Scott Klement sk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
