Are you certain you want to use FTP for that? I'm very skeptical of that approach.

FTP is not a secure protocol, and you're discussing installing an FTP server on a PC... seems like a bad idea.

IIRC, there's an OVRPRTF coded inside the code for PRTSTMF, you'd have to edit the code and recompile it to get something like a drawer.

Yes, with SQL functions or (my choice would be) XML-INTO/XML-SAX.

The XML stuff in HTTPAPI is from back before IBM added any of that stuff into the operating system, though its been used all over the world in thousands of applications, and I've never heard of it failing sporadically.

Any Idea??

Don't use the systools http routines... use HTTPAPI, this is the website for HTTPAPI, after all.

5733SC1 is openssl, isn't it? What does that have to do with syslog??

The first 2 bytes of the value are x'8000', which means the length is 32768, since the parameter is defined as 32767, you are getting the error.

You talk like the error is sporadic, but... doesn't it happen consistently with certain XML documents? If you do the same document again, you don't get ...

I assume there are utilities for logging things to syslog from within PASE. Why not use one of those?

that said, I haven't tried it. I have never had a reason to write to syslog from IBM i.

What is the hex value of the first 4 bytes of the 'value' parameter?

How can this problem be reproduced?

403 Forbidden means you are not permitted access. Either the URL or the server, or something else (such as the IP address you are coming from) is not allowed.

The reason you can't read the characters is that they are compressed with gzip. I don't know why they are sending it that way, the HTTP standard says that they are not allowed to compress the payload unless the client says they allow it. Compression is always optional in HTTP. But they have decided ...
