APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
The z/VSE HTTP Client (IESHTTPB/IESHTTPC) does not ASCII/EBCDIC- translate sent or received data with a content-type of "application/xml", although this content-type is textual. Currently only content-types of "text/..." are treated as textual and are ASCII/EBCDIC-translated.
Local fix
Send/Receive the data in binary and perform the ASCII/EBCDIC translation by yourself.
Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All z/VSE HTTP Client Users. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The z/VSE HTTP Client does not ASCII/ * * EBCDIC-translate sent or received data * * with a content-type of "application/ * * xml", although this content-type is * * textual. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: Install this PTF. * **************************************************************** The z/VSE HTTP Client (IESHTTPB/IESHTTPC) does not ASCII/EBCDIC- translate sent or received data with a content-type of "application/xml", although this content-type is textual.
Problem conclusion
The z/VSE HTTP Client has been corrected to detect textual content-types such as "application/xml" and ASCII/EBCDIC- translate the data of these content-types. A caller can now also force the ASCII/EBCDIC-translation by using the HTTP_GET_TEXT or HTTP_POST_TEXT request types.
Temporary fix
