I have a little CGI RPG webservice that uses CGI API's directly. It reads GET data from the query string and writes to stdout. It's short, sweet and effective. Now I have to handle POST data. /sigh

It was an easy thing to identify the request method & content length, and read from stdin. The data coming in in garbled, so I suspect a CCSID issue. My immediate question is, how do I know what CCSID the data is?

I have CGIDEV2 and I know it would handle POST data, but it just seems bloated to bring it in for the sole purpose of reading POST data.
