Re: yajl error management

[Charles Wilt <charles.wilt@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'd expect
400 Bad Request - the server cannot or will not process the request due to
an apparent client error (e.g., malformed request syntax, size too large,
invalid request message framing, or deceptive request routing).

However, are you sure the characters are actually invalid?  JSON is UTF-8.

Are the characters invalid only because you're trying to stuff them into an
EBCDIC variable?

You may need to stuff them into a UTF-8 and then remove any chars you can't
handle.
