1) wrong list...  I am trying to use code from LIBEXPAT, now I will try to find an example in LIBHTTP..

2) after if FTP'd my xml to the ifs, I saw the CCSID was 819 (option 8 on wrklnk)

Hi Gerald,

I'm confused.  If the "actual" CCSID is 819, why is the file marked as 
"Cp1252"?   Did you translate it from 1252 to 819?  These two encodings 
are very similar.  The difference is just a few control characters in
819 that have been changed into text characters in 1252.  In a manner of speaking, you could say that 1252 is a superset of 819.  (Though, technically, it's not because you're losing the control characters -- but never heard of anyone using these.)

The other thing is... what do you mean by "actual"?    Does that mean 
you've gone through the contents of each byte in the file, and every code point directly corresponds to the proper glyph in the 819 code 
page?   Or that you wrote code that generated the file, and you know for 
a fact that the code will generate 819 code points?

Or.. what are you saying?

Also... I'm assuming you are using one of HTTPAPI's routines to parse this XML.  (If you are calling Expat directly, then this is off-topic 
for this mailing list.)   Can you be explicit about which HTTPAPI 
routine you are calling, and which parameters you are passing?   All of 
the routines have the ability to translate XML into other encodings for compatibility with Expat.
