PK15820: DFHSPWBV IS CHECKING THE MEDIATYPE TO DETERMINE IF IT REPRESENTS TEXT DATA, BUT DOESN'T HANDLE APPLICATION/X-JAVASCRIPT AS TEXT.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• DFHSPWBV is checking the MEDIATYPE to determine if it represents
  text data or not.  Only types that are text should allow values
  for the codepages to be specified. The check is for
  'text/', 'application/xml', and the types containing '+xml'.
  This would have handled the obsolete text/javascript but doesn't
  handle application/x-javascript as text data.

  The customer is using a CICS URIMAP to deliver a JavaScript
  file from the HFS. The URIMAP specifies a mediatype of
  application/x-javascript. This mediatype indicates that the
  content of the message (the JavaScript source) is non-binary
  data. This requires a conversion from EBCDIC to ASCII. However,
  CEDA does not allow the Hostcodepage or Characterset attributes
  to be specified for mediatype application/x-javascript.
  
  Additional keywords: text/javascript
  

Problem conclusion

• CEDA has been changed to allow the Characterset and Hostcodepage
  attributes to be set if  mediatype 'application/x-javascript' or
  'application/javascript' is specified in a URIMAP definition.
  
  Data conversion of the body of the static response specified in
  the URIMAP will occur when mediatype 'application/javascript' or
  'application/x-javascript' is set.
