If you want to be sure or do testing you can DSPPGM the program you want to test, this will show to which SRVPGM is bound.

If they are *LIBL bound (and not hardwired) you can test the program putting the new libraries on top on a test session...

Hello,
being HTTP used a lot to carry around a lot of redundant text in webservices calls, given the eventual benefits,
does HTTPAPI supports on the fly de/compression of the text payload, offloading to some api, or via filter/hooks possibility?

i.e. Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate

If you start interfacing with complex web services REST/JSON , do yourself a favour, switch to ...

For those kind of APIs what I would suggest is, build a DS to contain the token, then a separate independent program to get the token.
Never build JSON "by hand", use the appropriate encoders (Scott ones ...

Want I wanted to say is to see maybe the overload as an option to avoid an explicit additional name like an hypotetical "http_req_utf"

say to have

http_req_jobccsid(VARCHAR ...

http_req_utf(VARCHAR CCSID(*UTF8)

And a "http_req" prototype defined as overload over the aforementioned (in the ...

...or using the OVERLOAD to select implmentation, using the same final name, but changing the number/type of parameter to let it bind to a proper implementation? just to throw some thoughts around...

If I were to do it all over again today, I would've made 1208 the default, but back in 2001 ....
