nadir amra commented on AXISCPP-964:
------------------------------------

The other option is to have user put character set in config file (i.e. 'ISO-8859-1'), unless it can be obtained from locale?

> that is that the SOAP response is UTF-8 encoded. But this is only true for OS/400 as can be seen in HTTPTransport.cpp, lines 311-
> #ifndef __OS400__
>         *m_pActiveChannel << this->getHTTPHeaders ();
>         *m_pActiveChannel << this->m_strBytesToSend.c_str ();
> #else
>         // Ebcdic (OS/400) systems need to convert the data to UTF-8. Note that free() is 
>         // correctly used and should not be changed to delete().		
>         const char *buf = this->getHTTPHeaders ();
>         utf8Buf = toUTF8((char *)buf, strlen(buf)+1);
>         *m_pActiveChannel << utf8Buf;
>         free(utf8Buf);
>         utf8Buf = NULL;
>         utf8Buf = toUTF8((char *)this->m_strBytesToSend.c_str(), this->m_strBytesToSend.length()+1);
>         *m_pActiveChannel << utf8Buf;
>         free(utf8Buf);
>         utf8Buf = NULL;
> #endif
> This leads to clients trying to decode the response as UTF-8, and will have errors whenever the response contains non-ASCII characters (i.e., > 127).
> Axis Java, for example, will prduce this error upon decoding: 
> "java.io.UTFDataFormatException: Invalid byte 2 of 3-byte UTF-8 sequence."
> A simple workaround is to change SoapSerializer.cpp, line 379:
> from
> serialize( "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8' ?>", NULL);
> to
> serialize( "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='ISO-8859-1' ?>", NULL);
> The real fix, however, is to encode the response with UTF-8 for all platforms (not just OS/400).
