Re: UTF-8 conversion in a REST program

[Jon Paris <jon.paris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Why bother with EBCDIC ?  JSON is supposed to be UTF-8 and YAJL - for one - will handle that just fine.

It was working great until last week when they changed the content-type in the header from "text/json" to "application/json".
