Re: [Ftpapi] Problem with utf-8 data received using new http_string() procedure and YAJL.

[Scott Klement <sk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Richard,

It's not clear to me what you are looking for.  Do you want HTTPAPI to 
assume the remote data is UTF-8 (by default it assumes ISO-8859-1)...   
If so, you can do:

http_setOption('network-ccsid': '1208');

In this case, your RPG variable will get (by default) it's data in the 
EBCDIC CCSID of your job, but it will be translated from UTF-8 rather 
than ASCII.  That should solve the issue for the particular characters 
in your examples.

But, there are hundreds of thousands of characters that simply don't 
exist in EBCDIC.  What if you wanted the data to be returned to your 
program un-translated, so that it is still in the original UTF-8? In 
that case you could do this:

http_setOption('network-ccsid': '1208');
http_setOption('local-ccsid': '1208');

In this case, since the two CCSIDs are the same, it will not translate 
the data at all.

The "old" way to do this is with http_setCCSIDs() (which will also still 
work).   For example, the older way to set the network CCSID is:

    http_SetCCSIDs(1208: 0);

or to set both network/local so that there's no translation:

   http_setCCSIDs(1208: 1208);

So that does the same thing as the above... I just think 
http_setOption() is easier to read.
