Re: Using http_xlate and special characters

[Scott Klement <sk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Wolfgang,

You're getting %2B because the HTTP server is sending you URL encoded 
data. If you look on an ASCII chart, you'll see that hex 2B is the ASCII 
value for the + symbol.

HTTPAPI does not currently contain a URL decode routine (it has an 
encoder, but not a decoder).  This is the first time I can remember 
someone wanting to URL decode something with HTTPAPI.

But, at any rate, it's not a CCSID problem.  The data is being 
translated exactly as it should be (as far as I can tell, anyway) and 
there doesn't seem to be any problems with HTTPAPI.  You're receiving 
exactly what the server is sending you.

you just need to write a routine to decode it.
