http client, unicode system, unicode->utf-8

Hello,

please, I have problem with download correct data (or decode downloaded data to correct format) from HTTPS server on UNICODE system.

When I'm trying to call HTTP2_GET to RFC destination SAPHTTP (frontend), result is correct. This RFC destination is non-UNICODE connection to saphttp.exe

I can download data from https:// .... and everything is perfect.

Response from HTTP2_GET is coded as UTF-8 and calls SCMS_STRING_TO_XSTRING (encoding 1404) and SMUM_XML_PARSE work fine.

When I try to download data using SAPHTTPA destination (saphttp.exe on application server), I have problem with response data. ASCII characters are correct, but national chars are coded as unicode. I don't know, how can I decode these chars.

SAPHTTPA is connection to UNICODE target system saphttp.exe. (character size = 2)

Response body length from SAPHTTPA is 2x greater than response body length from SAPHTTP (frontend).

Please, how can I decode downloaded unicode data to xstring using encoding 1404 or how can I download data in UTF-8 format using unicode rfc destination?

Thx,

Petr

If you try download data using HTTP2_GET and UNICODE RFC destination SAPHTTPA, you'll need to covert data using SCMS_STRING_TO_XSTRING without parameter encoding. Result is correct. Than you can call SMUM_XML_PARSE without problem.

If you need parse part of result SMUM_XML_PARSE (xml in xml), next call SCMS_STRING_TO_XSTRING is needed with parameter encoding = '4110' ...

Result is not converted and next call SMUM_XML_PARSE is correct.

If you download data using HTTP2_GET and NON-UNICODE RFC destination SAPHTTP, use your national codepage as parameter in first encoding and second encoding is without parameter 'encoding'.
