Re: JSON and the IFS

[Kevin Turner <kevin.turner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The file encoding on the IFS also has to be right.  So for us we use UTF-8 so the static content files should also be ccsid 1208 or, as you say, IE especially will have issues.  To be honest it is not good practise to store data in files in htdocs on the IFS and let the browser be able to download it directly.  The data should only be accessible via your application, and streamed to the browser by your program(s). That way you are in full control of the data and have no security loopholes.

Subject: Re: [WEB400] JSON and the IFS

It shouldn't have any problem as long as the data is correctly encoded. With JSON the typical mistake is with the braces ({}) especially when hardcoded in RPG source. If your job ccsid is 37 (using the US example) and your source files is ccsid 37 then what you key in will look fine in the source and any file you spew out to the IFS, but that doesn't mean that it actually is correct when converted by Apache to (for example) UTF-8. We never hardcode those characters for that reason. It would be useful to see what Booth gets on the browser and if indeed it is the braces that are screwed.
