If the content type starts with "text/" then Apache will translate. I find "text/json" to be the easiest option.
If you're using YAJL for the JSON, it can output the desired CCSID.
If those don't work for you, RPG can do the conversion (assuming varName contains the correct data):
Dcl-s varName varChar(255) ;
Dcl-s varNameUTF8 like(varName) ccsid(*utf8) ;
varNameUTF8 = varName;

Subject: [WEB400] UTF-8 conversion in a REST program
I have a RPGLE REST program that receives orders in a JSON payload from our Salesforce application. It was working great until last week when they changed the content-type in the header from "text/json" to "application/json". The payload is now garbled and I believe that it is coming in as UTF-8 and is not being translated by the web server they way it was when the content-type was "text/json".
I've tried a few different coding techniques to convert the data received but haven't had any success. Can someone point me to example program that converts the data read in from StdIn from UTF-8 to EBCDIC?
Thanks,
Rich
