IT21044: HTTPASYNCRESPONSE NODE PARSES USING WRONG CCSID WHEN PARSE TIMING IS SET TO COMPLETE OR IMMEDIATE

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When an HTTPAsyncResponse node receives special characters, for
  example chinese characters or "áëíöù", in the body, and the node
  is configured to use the XMLNSC domain, and Parse timing is set
  to Complete or Immediate, then the special characters get
  garbled or parser errors may result. The user may see the
  following error :
  
  BIP5004E  An XML parsing error:An invalid XML character
  (Unicode: 0x4c) was found in the prolog of the document.
  
  It is observed that HTTPAsyncResponse node always parses
  the body using CCSID 819 when Parse Timing is set to
  Complete or Immediate.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  USERS AFFECTED:
  All users of IBM Integration Bus V10.0 and V9.0 with
  HttpAsyncResponse nodes.
  
  
  Platforms affected:
  z/OS, MultiPlatform
  
  ****************************************************************
  PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  When special characters (non-utf-8) are received by the
  HTTPAsyncResponse node, which is configured to use XMLNSC
  domain, and parse timing is set to "complete" or "Immediate", it
  is seen that the character encoding in HTTPResponse header does
  not take effect and the node tries to parse the bitstream in
  utf-8 code page.
  
  This can either lead to a parser error with the BIP message
  "BIP5004E", or the characters get garbled by the node.
  

Problem conclusion

• The HttpAsyncResponse node now uses the correct codepage from
  the HTTPResponse header to parse the body.
