Re: htmhhtp server instance and ccsid

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I believe there are attributes that can be set for HTTP server 
instances. In the web-based admin client, in General server properties, 
I think, advanced properties, I see client and server CCSIDs can be set, 
optionally. Here is a bit of the help text you can see there -

I think one must be very aware of what will happen if you set these.

There are directives in the httpd.conf file - I just saw this - 
DefaultNetCCSID 1208 - in one of the setups on one of our IBM i's.
